How To Fix RS_HCPR_MODEL023 - Temporal join: Model inconsistent. Replace PartProvider &1 with itself.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RS_HCPR_MODEL - Messages related to the HANA Composite Provider Backend

• Message number: 023

• Message text: Temporal join: Model inconsistent. Replace PartProvider &1 with itself.

What causes this issue?

The model does not contain any information which would be needed to
process a temporal join.

How to fix this error?

If the CompositeProvider will not contain a time-dependent PartProvider
in future, no changes are necessary. If a time-dependent PartProvider
will be included however, meaning that the entire join becomes temporal,
the PartProviders mentioned in the problems view have to be replaced by
themselves in order to have a consistent model.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL023 - Temporal join: Model inconsistent. Replace PartProvider &1 with itself. ?

  The SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL023, which states "Temporal join: Model inconsistent. Replace PartProvider &1 with itself," typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA or SAP BW when dealing with data modeling, particularly with temporal joins in CompositeProviders or other data models.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to inconsistencies in the data model, particularly when using temporal joins. The following are common causes:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Model: The data model may have inconsistencies in the way the temporal join is defined, such as mismatched data types or incorrect relationships between the data sources.
  
  
  Invalid PartProvider: The PartProvider referenced in the error message may not be correctly defined or may have been altered in a way that makes it incompatible with the current model.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Time Characteristics: If the time characteristics used in the temporal join are not properly defined or are missing, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Changes in Underlying Data Sources: If the underlying data sources have changed (e.g., fields were added or removed), it can lead to inconsistencies in the model.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_HCPR_MODEL023 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the PartProvider: Review the PartProvider mentioned in the error message. Ensure that it is correctly defined and that all necessary fields and relationships are intact.
  
  
  Validate Temporal Join Configuration: Ensure that the temporal join is correctly configured. Check that the time characteristics are properly defined and that the join conditions are valid.
  
  
  Recreate the PartProvider: If the PartProvider is corrupted or inconsistent, consider deleting it and recreating it from scratch. This can help ensure that all configurations are correct.
  
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields used in the temporal join are compatible. Mismatched data types can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Review Changes in Data Sources: If there have been recent changes to the underlying data sources, review those changes to ensure they do not affect the model's integrity.
  
  
  Use the Modeler Tool: Utilize the SAP HANA Modeler or the BW Modeling Tools to validate the model and check for any inconsistencies or errors in the design.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for additional insights or similar issues encountered by other users.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation related to SAP HANA modeling and BW data modeling to better understand temporal joins and best practices.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the inconsistency causing the RS_HCPR_MODEL023 error.
