• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQ290 - No differences between query and InfoSet ?

  The SAP error message AQ290 "No differences between query and InfoSet" typically occurs when you are trying to execute a query that is based on an InfoSet, but the query does not have any differences in the selection criteria compared to the InfoSet itself. This means that the query is essentially redundant because it does not filter or modify the data in any way.
  Cause:
  
  Identical Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in the query are identical to those defined in the InfoSet.
  No Filters Applied: The query does not apply any additional filters or conditions that would differentiate it from the InfoSet.
  Query Configuration: The query might not be configured correctly, leading to no differences being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Query Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria in your query and compare them with the InfoSet. Ensure that there are actual differences or additional filters in the query.
  Modify the Query: If the query is intended to retrieve different data, modify the selection criteria to include specific filters or conditions that are not present in the InfoSet.
  Create a New Query: If the current query is not serving its purpose, consider creating a new query with distinct selection criteria that meet your reporting needs.
  Check InfoSet Configuration: Ensure that the InfoSet is configured correctly and that it contains the necessary fields and data for your query.
