• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R8109 - InfoSource &: Obsolete entries in table ROISIOBJ ?

  The SAP error message R8109, which indicates "Obsolete entries in table ROISIOBJ," typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and is related to the InfoSource and the data extraction process. This error suggests that there are entries in the ROISIOBJ table that are no longer valid or needed, which can lead to issues in data extraction or reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Obsolete InfoObjects: The error usually occurs when there are InfoObjects that have been deleted or are no longer in use, but their entries still exist in the ROISIOBJ table.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as the deletion of InfoSources or InfoObjects, can lead to inconsistencies in the metadata stored in the ROISIOBJ table.
  Inconsistent Metadata: If the metadata in the BW system is not properly synchronized with the underlying data model, it can lead to obsolete entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R8109 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Obsolete InfoObjects:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Navigate to the InfoSources and check for any InfoObjects that are marked as obsolete or deleted.
  
  
  
  Delete Obsolete Entries:
  
  You can manually delete the obsolete entries from the ROISIOBJ table using transaction code SE14 (Database Utility) or SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  However, be cautious when deleting entries directly from the database. It is advisable to back up the data or consult with your SAP Basis team before making changes.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the InfoSource:
  
  If the InfoSource is still needed, consider rebuilding it. This can be done by reactivating the InfoSource or re-importing it from the source system.
  
  
  
  Check for Consistency:
  
  After making changes, run the consistency check for the InfoSource to ensure that all entries are valid and that there are no remaining obsolete entries.
