• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSWWW271 - Template '&1' references to non-existant query view '&2' ?

  The SAP error message RSWWW271 indicates that a template is referencing a query view that does not exist. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a web template is trying to access a query that has either been deleted, renamed, or is otherwise unavailable.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Query/View: The query or view that the template is referencing has been deleted from the system.
  Renamed Query/View: The query or view has been renamed, and the template has not been updated to reflect this change.
  Transport Issues: If the template was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the query/view may not have been included in the transport.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the query/view, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Incorrect Template Configuration: The template may have been incorrectly configured, pointing to an invalid or non-existent query/view.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Query/View Existence:
  
  Check if the query/view referenced in the error message exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant area in the SAP BW/BI system (e.g., using transaction codes like RSRT for queries).
  
  
  
  Update Template:
  
  If the query/view has been renamed, update the template to reference the correct name.
  If the query/view has been deleted, you may need to create a new query/view or modify the template to remove the reference.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that the query/view was included in the transport request if the template was moved between systems. If not, transport the necessary objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Check the user’s authorizations to ensure they have access to the query/view. This can be done by reviewing the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Template:
  
  If the template is not functioning correctly, consider recreating it from scratch, ensuring that all references are valid.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any documentation or change logs to understand if there were any recent changes made to the queries or templates that could have led to this issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSRT (Query Monitor), RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), and others that may help in troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
