  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF153 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Transfer Process (DTP) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, the error states that an object (usually a DataSource or InfoObject) is defined as the target of a DTP, but there may be a problem with its configuration or status.
  Cause:
  
  Object Status: The target object (e.g., InfoObject, DataSource) may be inactive or not properly activated.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DTP may be incorrectly configured, pointing to an object that is not valid or does not exist.
