• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN375 - Compression of MultiProvider (&1) is not defined ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN375, which states "Compression of MultiProvider (&1) is not defined," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an attempt to compress data in a MultiProvider that has not been properly configured for compression.
  Cause:
  
  MultiProvider Configuration: The MultiProvider may not have been set up to allow for data compression. Compression is usually defined at the InfoProvider level, and if the MultiProvider is not configured correctly, this error can occur.
  Data Source Issues: The underlying InfoProviders (e.g., InfoCubes, DataStore Objects) that make up the MultiProvider may not have compression settings defined.
  Missing or Incorrect Settings: There may be missing or incorrect settings in the BW system that prevent the compression process from being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check MultiProvider Settings:
  
  Go to the MultiProvider in the SAP BW system and check its settings. Ensure that it is correctly configured to allow for compression.
  Verify that the underlying InfoProviders are set up correctly and that they support compression.
  
  
  
  Compression Settings:
  
  For each InfoProvider that is part of the MultiProvider, check the compression settings. You can do this by navigating to the InfoCube or DataStore Object and looking for the compression options.
  If compression is not defined, you may need to define it. This can typically be done in the InfoCube settings under the "Manage" or "Administration" section.
  
  
  
  Execute Compression Manually:
  
  If the settings are correct but the error persists, try executing the compression process manually for the underlying InfoProviders. This can sometimes resolve issues related to automatic compression.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP BW system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be bug fixes related to this issue.
