Hierarchy data export - job terminated in source system error

I encounter below issue while exporting hierarchy data from InfoObject to other systems. I had enabled my IO with settings “Characteristics is Export DS” available on Master Data/Texts tab of the IO maintenance screen. This means that characteristic is used as export data source. So its attributes, texts, and hierarchies of the IO can be extracted into other BW systems via Data Mart Interface.


Afterwards I created export DS via doing right click on the IO and choosing menu Additional Functions -> Create Export DataSource. Notice that the export DS for hierarchy are still working in 3.x version fashion. Also the version of such a DS is always only modified and the DS is self is Emulated. Same settings you can observe in t-code RSDS.



I replicated DS in my target system. Once I tried to load the data via InfoPackage there was a following error:

Job terminated in source system -> Request set to red.

There was an ABAP dump associated with the cancelled job. It was saying about termination in ABAP report SAPLRSSG, runtime error was type of SYNTAX_ERROR and error description was like follows:

The current ABAP program "SAPLRSSG" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
In include "GP00733D5CMRY7YE3D93SUE852V", in line 34 of program
 "GP00733D5CMRY7YE3D93SUE852", the following syntax errors have occurred:
Field "/BIC/C5DU8_IOname is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement.

It was obvious that data element as described wasn’t present in the system and it even wasn’t supposed to be in there.


Actually issue was within method for loading of data. This information for particular DS is stored in table ROOSGEN - Generated Objects for OLTP Source. In my case it was set to T that means transactional RFC but once I corrected it into I (Idoc) my upload worked.



There are few forum posts about this issue in SDN like here and here but solution is not provided within the posts. I hope this blog will be useful for people who face same issue.
