• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR537 - Different structures in dummy and original. Cannot execute ?

  The SAP error message RSAR537, which states "Different structures in dummy and original. Cannot execute," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a mismatch between the data structures of the original InfoObject and the dummy InfoObject used in a process, such as a data transfer or data extraction.
  Cause:
  
  Structure Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the structure of the data being processed (the original) does not match the structure of the dummy data object. This can happen if there have been changes to the InfoObject or if the data source has been modified without corresponding updates to the dummy object.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source (like a table or view) has been altered (e.g., fields added, removed, or changed), the dummy structure may not reflect these changes.
  Inconsistent Metadata: There may be inconsistencies in the metadata definitions between the original and dummy structures.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Definitions: Verify that the definitions of the original InfoObject and the dummy InfoObject are consistent. Ensure that they have the same fields, data types, and attributes.
  Update Dummy Object: If the original InfoObject has been modified, you may need to regenerate or update the dummy InfoObject to match the new structure.
  Recreate Data Transfer Process (DTP): If the error occurs during a data transfer process, consider recreating the DTP to ensure that it references the correct structures.
  Check Data Source: Review the data source configuration to ensure that it is correctly set up and that any changes to the underlying data structure are reflected in the BW model.
  Transport Requests: If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that all relevant transport requests have been moved to the production environment correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check InfoObjects and DTPs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Logs and Traces: Review logs and traces for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what specifically is causing the mismatch.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further analysis and support.
