• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSR_STORE003 - Attribute &1 has an invalid attribute type ?

  The SAP error message RSR_STORE003, which states "Attribute &1 has an invalid attribute type," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data model, particularly with the attributes of InfoObjects.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Attribute Type: The error indicates that the attribute type of the specified InfoObject (denoted by &1) is not valid for the operation being performed. This could happen if:
  
  The attribute is defined with a data type that is incompatible with the data being loaded or processed.
  There is a mismatch between the attribute type defined in the InfoObject and the data source from which data is being extracted.
  
  
  
  Data Source Issues: If the data source has changed or if there are inconsistencies in the data types between the source and the target InfoObject, this error can occur.
  
  
  Modeling Errors: Errors in the modeling of InfoObjects, such as incorrect settings in the attribute properties, can also lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and check the definition of the InfoObject that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the attribute type is correctly defined and matches the expected data type.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Verify the data source from which the data is being extracted. Ensure that the data types in the source match those defined in the InfoObject.
  If there have been changes to the data source, update the InfoObject accordingly.
  
  
  
  Data Type Compatibility:
  
  Ensure that the data types of the attributes are compatible with the data being loaded. For example, if the attribute is defined as a character type, ensure that the incoming data is also character data.
  
  
  
  Re-activate InfoObjects:
  
  Sometimes, re-activating the InfoObject can resolve inconsistencies. You can do this in the InfoObject maintenance transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another, ensure that all dependencies and related objects were also transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoObject and the error message for any additional guidance or known issues.
