• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRV083 - Characteristic &1 does not occur in InfoCube &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSRV083 indicates that a specific characteristic (denoted as &1) is not found in the specified InfoCube (denoted as &2). This error typically arises during data extraction, reporting, or when performing data validation checks in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristic: The characteristic you are trying to use in your query or report does not exist in the structure of the InfoCube.
  Incorrect Query Definition: The query may be incorrectly defined, referencing a characteristic that is not part of the InfoCube.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to the InfoCube or the characteristics it contains, may lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoCube was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoCube Structure:
  
  Go to the InfoCube definition in the SAP BW system and verify that the characteristic in question is indeed part of the InfoCube.
  You can do this by navigating to the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and checking the "Characteristics" tab.
  
  
  
  Update Query:
  
  If the characteristic is not part of the InfoCube, you will need to either remove it from the query or modify the query to include a valid characteristic that exists in the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Adjust the InfoCube:
  
  If the characteristic should be part of the InfoCube but is missing, you may need to adjust the InfoCube definition to include it. This may involve modifying the InfoCube structure and reactivating it.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the InfoCube was recently transported, ensure that all related objects (like characteristics, key figures, etc.) were also transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust the objects.
  
  
  
  Data Source and Transformation:
  
  Ensure that the data source and transformation rules are correctly set up to populate the characteristic in the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use transaction RSRV to run consistency checks on the InfoCube to identify any other potential issues.
