• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL055 - Partitioning criteria &1:'&2' not consistent; lower bound > upper bound ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL055 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the partitioning criteria of an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO). Specifically, the error states that the lower bound of a partitioning criterion is greater than its upper bound, which is not valid.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Partitioning Configuration: The partitioning criteria defined for the ADSO may have been set incorrectly, leading to a situation where the lower bound is greater than the upper bound.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the underlying data, it may have resulted in an inconsistency in the partitioning criteria.
  Data Type Mismatch: If the data types of the fields used in the partitioning criteria are not compatible or have been changed, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_ADSO_MODEL055 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Partitioning Criteria:
  
  Go to the ADSO definition in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Review the partitioning criteria settings to ensure that the lower and upper bounds are correctly defined.
  Make sure that the lower bound is less than or equal to the upper bound.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Criteria:
  
  If you find any inconsistencies, adjust the partitioning criteria accordingly. Ensure that the values make logical sense and adhere to the expected data ranges.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Types:
  
  Ensure that the data types of the fields used in the partitioning criteria are consistent and compatible. If there have been changes to the data types, update the partitioning criteria accordingly.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the ADSO:
  
  If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the ADSO or reactivating it. This can sometimes resolve underlying issues that are not immediately apparent.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Issues:
  
  Investigate the data being loaded into the ADSO. Ensure that there are no records that violate the defined partitioning criteria.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ADSO and partitioning for any specific guidelines or known issues.
