  The SAP error message RSSDA012, which states "Error while building join condition for table &1," typically occurs during the execution of a DataSource or when working with Data Warehousing objects in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that there is an issue with the join condition defined for a particular table in the context of a DataSource or InfoProvider.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Join Conditions: The join conditions defined for the table may be incorrect or not properly specified. This can happen if the fields used in the join do not match in terms of data types or if they are not present in the respective tables.
  
  
  Missing Fields: The fields that are supposed to be used in the join condition may be missing from the DataSource or the underlying tables.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model (like changes in the database schema) that are not reflected in the BW model can lead to this error.
  
  
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database itself, such as corruption or misconfiguration.

  Check for Missing Fields: Verify that all necessary fields are present in the DataSource and the underlying tables. If any fields are missing, you may need to adjust the DataSource or the underlying database.
