• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD884 - Table & and physical table & are not of same type ?

  The SAP error message AD884 indicates that there is a mismatch between the logical table and the physical table in terms of their types. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or when dealing with InfoObjects, where the logical representation of a table does not align with the physical representation.
  Cause:
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes made to the data model, such as altering the structure of InfoObjects or changing the data source, can lead to inconsistencies between the logical and physical tables.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that caused the mismatch.
  Manual Modifications: Manual changes to the database or the data model that are not reflected in the corresponding logical definitions can lead to this error.
  Versioning Issues: Different versions of the data model or InfoObjects may not be compatible, leading to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definitions: Verify the definitions of both the logical and physical tables. Ensure that they are of the same type (e.g., both should be either transparent tables, pooled tables, etc.).
  Recreate the InfoObject: If the issue persists, consider recreating the InfoObject or the data source to ensure that the definitions are consistent.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  Data Model Synchronization: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (for BW) to check and synchronize the data model. You may need to activate the InfoObjects or the data source again.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as some issues may have been resolved in newer versions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE14 (Database Utility) for checking and managing table definitions.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to InfoObjects and data modeling in BW for best practices and guidelines.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation.
