• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN026 - InfoObject & does not exist; InfoObject assignment is being deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN026 indicates that a specific InfoObject does not exist in the system, and as a result, the assignment of that InfoObject is being deleted. This error typically occurs in the context of data transfer processes, especially when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The most common cause of this error is that the InfoObject referenced in the data transfer process (DTP) or transformation does not exist in the system. This could happen if the InfoObject was deleted or if it was never created.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include the InfoObject, it may lead to this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the transformation or DTP settings that references an InfoObject that is not valid or has been renamed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Existence: Verify if the InfoObject exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject catalog in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1) and checking if the InfoObject is listed.
  Recreate or Restore InfoObject: If the InfoObject is missing, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if it was deleted unintentionally.
  Update Transformations/DTPs: If the InfoObject has been renamed or modified, update the transformations and DTPs to reference the correct InfoObject.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that the transport request included all necessary objects, including the InfoObject. You may need to re-transport the InfoObject if it was missed.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies on the missing InfoObject in other transformations or DTPs that could be causing the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage InfoObjects, transformations, and DTPs.
  Logs and Traces: Check the logs for more detailed error messages that may provide additional context about the issue. You can use transaction SLG1 to view application logs.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing InfoObjects and troubleshooting related errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the RSTRAN026 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
