• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN620 - Field list of the InfoSource &1 is empty ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN620 indicates that the field list of the InfoSource specified is empty. This typically occurs during data extraction processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the system is trying to extract data from a source but cannot find any fields defined for the InfoSource.
  Cause:
  
  InfoSource Configuration: The InfoSource may not have been properly configured. This could mean that no fields have been assigned to the InfoSource.
  DataSource Issues: The DataSource linked to the InfoSource may not be active or may not have any fields defined.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoSource was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing field definitions.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, authorization issues can prevent the system from accessing the field definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Verify that the InfoSource has fields defined. If not, you will need to add the necessary fields.
  Ensure that the InfoSource is correctly linked to the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Review DataSource:
  
  Check the DataSource associated with the InfoSource (transaction code RSA1).
  Ensure that the DataSource is active and has fields defined. If it is inactive, activate it.
  If the DataSource is missing fields, you may need to adjust the extraction logic or reconfigure the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the InfoSource was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  If fields are missing due to a transport issue, you may need to re-transport the InfoSource or manually add the fields.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and access the InfoSource and its fields.
  Check the authorization roles assigned to the user and make adjustments if necessary.
  
  
  
  Rebuild InfoSource:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider deleting and recreating the InfoSource, ensuring that all necessary fields are included.
