• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B010 - Parameter error: InfoProvider names &1 &2 are inconsistent ?

  The SAP error message R7B010, which states "Parameter error: InfoProvider names &1 &2 are inconsistent," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the InfoProvider names being referenced in a query or report.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent InfoProvider Names: The error usually arises when two InfoProviders are expected to be the same but are not. This can happen if:
  
  There are typographical errors in the InfoProvider names.
  The InfoProviders have been renamed or deleted.
  The query or report is referencing an InfoProvider that does not exist or is not active.
  
  
  
  Data Source Issues: If the data source for a query has been changed or if there are issues with the underlying data model, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the InfoProviders were not included in the transport, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Names: Verify that the InfoProvider names referenced in the query or report are correct. Ensure there are no typographical errors.
  
  
  Validate InfoProviders: Go to the InfoProvider maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check if both InfoProviders exist and are active. If one of them is missing or inactive, you may need to reactivate or recreate it.
  
  
  Review Query Design: If you are using a BEx query, open the query in the BEx Query Designer and check the InfoProvider settings. Ensure that the InfoProviders used in the query are consistent and correctly defined.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including InfoProviders, were included and successfully transported.
  
  
  Rebuild the Query: If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the query or report from scratch, ensuring that you select the correct InfoProviders.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
