• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT402 - An info structure with this name does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT402 - An info structure with this name does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or reference an InfoStructure (InfoCube or InfoObject structure) that is not defined or does not exist in the system. Typically, this happens in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when:
  
  The InfoStructure name specified in a query, transformation, or process chain is incorrect or misspelled.
  The InfoStructure has been deleted or not yet created.
  There is a mismatch between the InfoStructure name used in the process and the actual InfoStructure in the system.
  The InfoStructure is not activated or is inactive.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify InfoStructure Name:
  
  Check the exact name of the InfoStructure you are trying to use.
  Go to transaction RSA1 ? InfoProvider ? InfoStructures and confirm the name exists.
  
  
  
  Create or Reactivate InfoStructure:
  
  If the InfoStructure does not exist, create it using the appropriate transaction or process.
  If it exists but is inactive, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:
  
  Ensure that the InfoStructure name is correctly spelled in the query, transformation, or process chain.
  
  
  
  Check Transport or System Consistency:
  
  If the InfoStructure was transported from another system, verify that the transport was successful and the InfoStructure exists in the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Process Chain or Query:
  
  If the error occurs during a process chain execution or query run, check the steps or query definition for references to the InfoStructure.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code:
  
  Use RSDIS to display InfoStructures and verify their existence.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoStructures are legacy objects in SAP BW used for reporting and data analysis. They have largely been replaced by InfoCubes and Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSOs) in newer BW versions.
  If you are working in a newer BW system, consider migrating InfoStructures to InfoCubes or ADSOs.
  For troubleshooting, check SAP Notes related to InfoStructures and error WT402.
  SAP Help Portal and BW documentation provide detailed guidance on InfoStructure management.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Error WT402 means the system cannot find the specified InfoStructure.
  Verify the InfoStructure name and existence.
  Create or activate the InfoStructure if missing.
  Correct any references in queries or process chains.
