• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B601 - Characteristic &1: UUID characteristic changed and used in data target ?

  The SAP error message R7B601 indicates that there is an issue with a characteristic in your data model, specifically a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) characteristic that has been changed while it is still being used in a data target. This can occur in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments when there are changes made to the characteristics that are not properly managed in relation to the data targets that utilize them.
  
  Cause:
  
  Change in Characteristic Definition: The UUID characteristic has been modified (e.g., its data type, length, or other properties) after it has already been used in a data target (like an InfoObject, InfoCube, or DataStore Object).
  Inconsistent Metadata: The metadata in the data target is not in sync with the changes made to the characteristic.
  Data Target Dependency: The data target relies on the original definition of the characteristic, and any changes can lead to inconsistencies or errors during data loading
