  The SAP error message BWFS_TECHNICAL055, which states "Time stamp converted to: &1 &2 through &3 &4," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the time stamp format or conversion during data processing or extraction.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Time Stamp Format: The error may arise if the time stamp being processed does not conform to the expected format. This can happen if the source system sends data in an unexpected format or if there are discrepancies in the time zone settings.
  Data Type Mismatch: If the data type of the time stamp in the source system does not match the expected data type in the BW system, it can lead to conversion errors.
  Data Quality Issues: Inconsistent or invalid data in the source system can also trigger this error, especially if the time stamps are missing or incorrectly formatted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Time Stamp Format: Ensure that the time stamps in the source system are in the correct format expected by SAP BW. The standard format is usually YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.
  Data Type Alignment: Verify that the data types for time stamps in the source and target systems are compatible. If necessary, adjust the data types in the BW system to match those in the source.
  Data Cleansing: Review the data in the source system for any inconsistencies or invalid entries. Cleanse the data to ensure that all time stamps are valid and correctly formatted.
  Adjust Time Zone Settings: If the issue is related to time zone discrepancies, ensure that the time zone settings in both the source and BW systems are aligned.
  Monitor Data Load Processes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor data load processes and identify any specific records causing the error.
