How To Fix RSTRAN543 - InfoObject &1 has characteristic routine but no rule

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSTRAN - Messages for Transformation

• Message number: 543

• Message text: InfoObject &1 has characteristic routine but no rule

What causes this issue?

InfoObject&V1& is not defined by a rule, but has a characteristic
routine.

System Response

The characteristic routine is not executed.

How to fix this error?

If you want to execute the characteristic routine even though no values
are stored in the target, you must create a rule with type Constant
(with constant SPACE) for this InfoObject. This ensures that the
characteristic routine is executed when you record values. This is
meaningful for example if you use 0LOGSYS as target InfoObject.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN543 - InfoObject &1 has characteristic routine but no rule ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN543 indicates that there is an issue with a characteristic routine in a transformation. Specifically, it means that the InfoObject (denoted by &1) has a characteristic routine defined, but there is no corresponding rule for that routine in the transformation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Rule: The characteristic routine is defined in the transformation, but there is no rule that utilizes this routine. This can happen if the transformation was modified, and the rule was inadvertently deleted or not created.
  Incorrect Configuration: The transformation might be incorrectly configured, leading to a mismatch between the routine and the rules.
  Transport Issues: If the transformation was transported from one system to another, it’s possible that the routine did not get transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transformation Rules:
  
  Go to the transformation in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Check the rules for the InfoObject in question and ensure that there is a rule that corresponds to the characteristic routine.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Rule:
  
  If there is no rule, create a new rule that uses the characteristic routine.
  If a rule exists but is not correctly linked to the routine, modify the rule to ensure it references the routine properly.
  
  
  
  Review Characteristic Routine:
  
  Ensure that the characteristic routine is correctly implemented and does not contain any errors.
  If necessary, debug the routine to ensure it functions as expected.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the transformation was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the transformation or manually recreate the missing elements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transformation to ensure that it runs without errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Characteristic Routines: These are ABAP routines that allow for complex logic to be applied to the data during the transformation process.
  Transformation: A transformation in SAP BW is a set of rules that define how data is transferred from a source to a target.
  Data Warehousing Workbench: This is the main tool used for managing data models, transformations, and other objects in SAP BW.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult SAP support or refer to SAP Notes related to this error for more specific guidance.
