  The SAP error message RSRV278 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the system where an InfoCube is referenced, but it does not exist in the database. However, there are still aggregate information objects that are associated with this non-existent InfoCube. This situation can arise due to various reasons, such as deletion of the InfoCube without properly removing its associated aggregates or issues during system upgrades or migrations.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of InfoCube: The InfoCube may have been deleted from the system, but the aggregates that were built on it were not removed.
  System Migration/Upgrade: During a system upgrade or migration, inconsistencies can occur if the InfoCube and its aggregates are not properly synchronized.
