• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_DEV086 - Data integrity of Provider &1 not possible with cache usage mode ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV086 indicates that there is an issue with the data integrity of a specific provider when using cache in a BW (Business Warehouse) environment. This error typically arises when there is a conflict between the data in the cache and the data in the underlying data source, which can lead to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Cache Inconsistency: The cache may contain outdated or inconsistent data compared to the source data. This can happen if the data in the source has been updated or changed after the cache was populated.
  Provider Configuration: The provider may not be configured correctly to handle cache usage, or there may be settings that prevent the cache from being used properly.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or transformations, can lead to inconsistencies.
  Data Load Issues: If there were issues during data loading processes, it could lead to discrepancies between the cache and the actual data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Clear the Cache: The first step to resolve this issue is to clear the cache for the affected provider. This can usually be done through the SAP BW administration tools.
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Find the provider in question and clear its cache.
  
  
  
  Check Data Load Processes: Ensure that all data load processes are completed successfully and that there are no errors in the data loading logs.
  
  
  Revalidate the Provider: After clearing the cache, revalidate the provider to ensure that it is functioning correctly and that the data integrity is restored.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings of the provider to ensure that it is set up correctly for cache usage. This includes checking the settings for the data source and any transformations.
  
  
  Monitor Data Changes: If the underlying data is frequently changing, consider implementing a strategy to refresh the cache more regularly or to avoid using cache for certain providers.
