• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRW001 - Alias Structure is not maintained ?

  The SAP error message SRW001, which states "Alias Structure is not maintained," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with the data source or the structure of the InfoObject being used in a query or report.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Alias Structure: The alias structure for a particular InfoObject has not been defined. An alias structure is used to provide an alternative name or representation for the data in the InfoObject.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject may not be properly configured in the data model, leading to the absence of the necessary alias structure.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the alias structure may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Alias Structure:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1).
  Select the InfoObject that is causing the error.

  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that the alias structure was included in the transport request.
  If it was not included, you may need to manually create the alias structure in the target system.
  
  
  
  Re-activate InfoObject:
  
  Sometimes, reactivating the InfoObject can resolve issues related to missing structures. You can do this in the InfoObject maintenance transaction.
