• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB6545 - Distribution key for E fact table &1 matches metadata ?

  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6545 typically indicates an issue with the distribution key for an E fact table in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error suggests that there is a mismatch between the distribution key defined in the metadata and the actual data in the fact table.
  Cause:
  
  Metadata Mismatch: The distribution key defined in the metadata does not match the actual distribution key used in the fact table. This can happen if the table was altered or if there were changes in the data model that were not properly reflected in the metadata.
  Data Load Issues: If there were issues during the data loading process, such as incomplete or failed loads, it could lead to inconsistencies between the metadata and the actual data.
  Changes in Data Model: If the data model has been changed (e.g., changes in the InfoObject or InfoProvider), it may not have been updated correctly in the metadata.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Metadata: Verify the distribution key defined in the metadata for the E fact table. Ensure that it matches the expected distribution key for the data being loaded.
  Re-activate the InfoProvider: Sometimes, re-activating the InfoProvider can help synchronize the metadata with the actual data. This can be done in the SAP BW system.
  Data Load Monitoring: Check the data load process for any errors or warnings. If there were issues during the data load, resolve them and reload the data.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the InfoProvider to identify any discrepancies between the metadata and the actual data.
  Adjust Data Model: If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that all related objects are updated accordingly. This may involve adjusting the InfoObjects or InfoProviders.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the InfoProviders and their metadata.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on managing InfoProviders and handling data load processes.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation, as they may have access to more detailed logs and system settings.
