• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW617 - Additional fields are not transformed ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW617, which states "Additional fields are not transformed," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are issues related to data transformation during the extraction and loading process. This error indicates that there are fields in the data source that are not being mapped or transformed correctly into the target data structure.
  Causes:
  
  
  Field Mapping Issues: The fields in the source data may not be correctly mapped to the target data model in BW. This can happen if the data source has been changed or if the transformation rules are not set up properly.
  
  
  Missing Fields in Transformation: If additional fields are present in the source but not included in the transformation rules, they will not be transformed and will trigger this error.
  
  
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source (like an InfoSource or DataSource) has been modified (e.g., fields added or removed) without updating the corresponding transformation, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Types: If there are inconsistencies in data types between the source and target fields, it can prevent successful transformation.
  
  
  Errors in the Data: Sometimes, the data itself may contain errors or unexpected values that prevent successful transformation.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Field Mapping: Review the transformation rules in the SAP BW system to ensure that all necessary fields from the source are correctly mapped to the target fields. Make sure that any new fields in the source are included in the transformation.
  
  
  Update Transformation: If the data source has changed, update the transformation to reflect these changes. This may involve adding new fields or modifying existing mappings.
  
  
  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the source fields match those of the target fields. If there are discrepancies, adjust the transformation rules accordingly.
  
  
  Review Data Source: Check the data source for any changes that may have occurred. If fields have been added or removed, make sure the transformation is updated to accommodate these changes.
  
  
  Test Data: Run tests with sample data to identify any specific records that may be causing the issue. This can help isolate problems related to data quality.
  
  
  Check for Errors in the Data: Look for any anomalies or errors in the data that might be causing the transformation to fail. Clean the data if necessary.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to access the transformation and data source settings.
  Logs and Traces: Check the logs for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what specific fields are causing the issue.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
