• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW470 - Field is a key in the InfoProvider - not in the InfoSet ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW470 indicates that there is a mismatch between the fields defined in an InfoProvider and those included in an InfoSet. Specifically, it means that a field that is defined as a key field in the InfoProvider is not included in the InfoSet definition. This can lead to issues when trying to execute queries or reports that rely on that InfoSet.
  Cause:
  
  Field Definition Mismatch: The field in question is defined as a key field in the underlying InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or DataStore Object) but is not included in the InfoSet that is being used for reporting.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the InfoProvider (like adding or removing fields), the InfoSet may not have been updated accordingly.
  Incorrect InfoSet Configuration: The InfoSet may have been configured incorrectly, leading to the exclusion of key fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Update the InfoSet:
  
  Go to the InfoSet in the SAP BW system.
  Check the field list and ensure that all key fields from the InfoProvider are included in the InfoSet.
  If a key field is missing, add it to the InfoSet.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the InfoSet:
  
  If the InfoSet is complex or has many fields, consider rebuilding it to ensure that it accurately reflects the structure of the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  Review any recent changes made to the InfoProvider and ensure that the InfoSet is updated to reflect those changes.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the InfoSet to ensure that it works correctly and that the error message no longer appears.
