  The SAP error message RSDA228 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the number of data records when simulating a selective deletion in a DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider. This error typically arises during the process of data management in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the system attempts to simulate the deletion of certain records based on specified criteria.
  
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The data in the DSO may have changed since the last time the simulation was run, leading to a mismatch in the expected number of records.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for the simulation may not match the actual data, resulting in a different number of records being identified for deletion.
  Data Locks: Other processes or users may be locking the data, causing inconsistencies during the simulation.
  Data Aggregation: If the data is aggregated or if there are multiple records that meet the criteria,
