• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR705 - Internal data type of field & was changed from & to & ?

  The SAP error message RSAR705 indicates that there is a mismatch in the internal data type of a field in a data source or InfoObject. This typically occurs when there is a change in the data type of a field in the source system or when the data model in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) has been modified, leading to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Change: The most common cause is that the data type of a field in the source system has been changed (e.g., from CHAR to NUMC or from INT to DEC).
  Model Changes: Changes in the data model in SAP BW, such as modifications to InfoObjects or DataSources, can also lead to this error.
  Inconsistent Metadata: If the metadata in the BW system does not match the source system, it can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Source: Verify the data type of the field in the source system and compare it with the definition in the BW system. Ensure they match.
  Adjust InfoObject: If the data type has changed in the source system, you may need to adjust the corresponding InfoObject in BW to match the new data type.
  Re-activate DataSource: If changes have been made, re-activate the DataSource in BW. This can sometimes resolve inconsistencies.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP): If you are using a DTP, check its settings and ensure that the transformation rules are correctly defined to handle the new data type.
  Data Load: After making the necessary adjustments, try to reload the data to see if the error persists.
