• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R8114 - Basic characteristic &: Entry in RODIOBJCMP w/o header entry in RODCHABAS ?

  The SAP error message R8114, which states "Basic characteristic &: Entry in RODIOBJCMP w/o header entry in RODCHABAS," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an inconsistency in the data model, particularly related to characteristics and InfoObjects.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Header Entry: The error indicates that there is an entry in the table RODIOBJCMP (which stores information about InfoObjects) that does not have a corresponding header entry in the table RODCHABAS (which stores basic characteristics). This can happen if an InfoObject was deleted or not properly activated.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Model: If there have been changes made to the InfoObjects or characteristics without proper updates or activations, it can lead to inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary objects, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Missing Entries:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 or SE16 to check the contents of the tables RODIOBJCMP and RODCHABAS.
  Look for entries in RODIOBJCMP that do not have corresponding entries in RODCHABAS.
  
  
  
  Recreate Missing Entries:
  
  If you find missing entries, you may need to recreate the InfoObject or characteristic that is missing in RODCHABAS.
  You can do this by going to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and ensuring that the InfoObject is properly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Activate InfoObjects:
  
  If the InfoObject is not activated, activate it again. This can often resolve inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included and properly imported.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Use the consistency check tools available in SAP BW (like the InfoObject consistency check) to identify and fix inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
