SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSTRAN - Messages for Transformation

• Message number: 060

• Message text: Rule &1 of transformation &2 (&3) is not valid and is being deleted

What causes this issue?

Rule &V1& is invalid and is being deleted. The reason for this is that a
field or InfoObject that is used in rule &V1& has been deleted in the
source or target of the transformation &V2& (&V3&).
Another reason could be that a new time-reference characteristic was
selected for an InfoCube with non-cumulative key figures. In this case
you cannot use the rule for the old time-reference characteristic.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN060 - Rule &1 of transformation &2 (&3) is not valid and is being deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN060 indicates that there is an issue with a specific rule in a transformation. This message typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with data transformations between InfoProviders, such as when loading data from a source to a target.
  Cause:
  The error message can be triggered by several factors, including:
  
  Invalid Rule Definition: The rule defined in the transformation may reference an InfoObject or field that no longer exists or is not valid.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been changes in the underlying data model (e.g., InfoObjects being deleted or renamed), the transformation rules may become invalid.
  Inconsistent Data Types: The data types of the source and target fields may not match, leading to an invalid transformation rule.
  Missing Source Fields: The source fields that the transformation rule is trying to use may not be available in the source data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSTRAN060 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Transformation Rules:
  
  Go to the transformation in question and review the rules. Ensure that all fields referenced in the rules are valid and exist in the source and target InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  Validate InfoObjects:
  
  Check if the InfoObjects used in the transformation are still valid. If any InfoObject has been deleted or renamed, you will need to update the transformation accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Types:
  
  Ensure that the data types of the source and target fields match. If there are discrepancies, you may need to adjust the transformation rules or the data types in the InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Transformation:
  
  If the transformation is too complex or if there are too many invalid rules, consider recreating the transformation from scratch to ensure that all rules are valid.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the transformation was transported from another system, ensure that all dependencies (like InfoObjects) were also transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Use the BW Modeling Tools:
  
  Utilize the BW Modeling Tools in SAP HANA Studio or Eclipse to analyze and fix the transformation. These tools often provide better insights into issues with transformations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to access the transformation and InfoProviders.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the RSTRAN060 error.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP BW documentation for detailed information on transformations and data modeling best practices.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the RSTRAN060 error and implement the necessary corrections to resolve it.
