• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB6599 - InfoCube &1: F and E fact tables in different database partition groups ?

  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6599 indicates that there is a mismatch between the fact tables (F and E) of an InfoCube in different database partition groups. This typically occurs in scenarios where the InfoCube is partitioned, and the fact tables are not aligned correctly across those partitions.
  Cause:
  
  Partitioning Issues: The fact tables (F and E) of the InfoCube are stored in different database partition groups, which can lead to inconsistencies in data retrieval and processing.
  Data Load Errors: During data loading processes, if the data is not correctly partitioned or if there are issues with the data load process, it can result in the fact tables being placed in different partition groups.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the InfoCube or the underlying database can lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Partitioning Configuration: Review the partitioning settings of the InfoCube to ensure that both the F and E fact tables are configured to use the same partition group.
  Repartitioning: If the fact tables are indeed in different partition groups, you may need to repartition them so that they align correctly. This may involve moving data or reconfiguring the database settings.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the InfoCube to identify any discrepancies between the fact tables. Use transaction codes like RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and check for errors.
  Data Load Process Review: Review the data load processes to ensure that they are correctly configured and that there are no errors during the data loading that could lead to partitioning issues.
  Database Administration: Consult with your database administrator to ensure that the database settings and configurations are optimal for handling partitioned tables.
  
  Related Information:
