Diagnosis
The definition of the InfoProvider or InfoObject catalog contains:

• InfoObjects that are not active. However, BI objects can only be reused
in other BI objects if they are available in an active version.

• InfoObjects that are only allowed as attributes. InfoObjects of this
type cannot be used in InfoProviders.
This error occurs typically with incomplete transports, where changesare made and objects are transported again, or with SAP delivery objectsthat have to be activated "bottom-up".

System Response
The maintenance dialog allows the further editing of the InfoProvider orInfoObject catalog; inactive/invalid InfoObjects are displayed. Note thefollowing:
When saving or activating the InfoProvider or InfoObject catalog, activeand valid InfoObjects only are included in the structure. This meansthat inactive/invalid InfoObjects are lost from the structuredescription.

Procedure
There are 2 possible procedures:

Canceling the dialog


• If you want to save/activate the InfoProvider/InfoObject catalog in the
existing definition form, cancel the dialog and activate or correct therequired InfoObjects first.
If necessary, goto InfoObject maintenance and edit the InfoObjectsthere. Depending on the cause of the error,
InfoObjects must be reedited or
InfoObjects must be recreated or
InfoObjects must first be transported into the current system.

• The InfoProvider or InfoCatalog can be edited again and saved or
activated in its current definition, after the InfoObject has beenactivated.

Continuing the dialog


• If it is acceptable that the InfoCube or the InfoObject catalog is only
saved or activated with the actively available and valid InfoObjects,carry on with this maintenance dialog, save or activate, and includeadditional InfoObjects in the structure at a later date.
However, you can only proceed in this way with InfoProviders with aphysical data store and data content if the data structure is not"reduced" because of the data posted, as otherwise errors occur duringactivation.
