• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOBI_MF122 - Data type &1 cannot be mapped to InfoObject type ?

  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF122 indicates that there is a data type mismatch between the source data and the InfoObject in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, it means that the data type of the field being processed cannot be mapped to the expected data type of the InfoObject.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The source data field has a different data type than what the InfoObject expects. For example, if the InfoObject is defined as a character type but the source field is numeric, this error can occur.
  Incorrect InfoObject Definition: The InfoObject may not be correctly defined in terms of its data type, length, or other attributes.
  Transformation Issues: During the data transformation process, the mapping between the source field and the target InfoObject may not be correctly configured.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source has changed (e.g., a change in the database schema), it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types of both the source field and the target InfoObject. Ensure that they are compatible. You can do this by checking the InfoObject definition in the SAP BW system.
  Modify InfoObject: If necessary, modify the InfoObject to match the data type of the source field. This may involve changing the data type, length, or other attributes of the InfoObject.
  Adjust Transformation Rules: Review the transformation rules in the Data Transfer Process (DTP) to ensure that the mapping is correctly defined. Make sure that the source field is mapped to the correct target InfoObject.
  Data Source Validation: If the data source has changed, ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that the fields are correctly mapped to the InfoObjects.
  Test Data Load: After making the necessary adjustments, test the data load again to see if the error persists.
