• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RODPS084 - Association &1 is different ?

  The SAP error message RODPS084 "Association &1 is different" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is a mismatch in the association definitions between different objects, such as InfoObjects, DataSources, or other data models. This error indicates that the association being referenced is not consistent with what is expected in the data model.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Associations: The association defined in the data model (e.g., in a CompositeProvider or a Calculation View) does not match the association defined in the underlying data source or InfoObject.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as renaming fields or changing data types, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the data model was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the associations due to missing or incorrectly transported objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Associations: Review the associations in the data model and ensure they are correctly defined. Compare the associations in the source and target objects to identify discrepancies.
  Update Data Model: If there have been changes to the underlying data sources or InfoObjects, update the data model to reflect these changes. This may involve modifying the associations or re-creating them.
  Rebuild the Model: In some cases, it may be necessary to delete and recreate the associations to ensure they are correctly configured.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and are in sync across the systems.
