• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CC_2012069 - Mandatory field GLN-INFOPROVIDER is empty ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_CC_2012069 Mandatory field GLN-INFOPROVIDER is empty
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because a mandatory field called GLN-INFOPROVIDER (Global Location Number - InfoProvider) is not filled in during the process. In SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Data Services contexts, this field is required to identify the InfoProvider (such as an InfoCube, DataStore Object, or CompositeProvider) that is involved in the data load or transformation process.
  The system expects this field to be populated to correctly link the data flow or metadata, and when it is empty, the process cannot proceed.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During data load or transformation processes involving InfoProviders.
  When configuring or executing DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoCube related tasks.
  In SAP BW or SAP Data Services jobs where metadata linking is required.
  Possibly during transport or activation of objects where the InfoProvider reference is mandatory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data Flow or Transformation Configuration:
  
  Verify that the InfoProvider is correctly specified in the relevant transformation, DTP (Data Transfer Process), or data flow.
  Ensure that the GLN-INFOPROVIDER field is populated with the correct InfoProvider technical name.
  
  
  
  Maintain the InfoProvider in the Source or Target Definition:
  
  In the Data Services Designer or BW modeling tools, open the relevant object and check the InfoProvider assignment.
  If missing, assign the correct InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Check Metadata Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on the involved InfoProviders and related objects.
  Make sure that the InfoProvider exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Transport and Activation:
  
  If this error occurs during transport, ensure that the InfoProvider objects are correctly transported and activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
  Sometimes, patches or support packages may address metadata handling bugs.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Summary:
