• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD711 - ____Characteristic &3 is compressed but is not in the aggregate/query ?

  The SAP error message RSDD711 indicates that a characteristic is compressed in the InfoCube but is not included in the aggregate or query that you are trying to execute. This situation typically arises when you have a characteristic that has been set to be compressed, but the query or aggregate does not reference that characteristic, leading to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Compression of Characteristics: The characteristic in question has been compressed in the InfoCube, which means that the data for that characteristic is stored in a more compact form to save space and improve performance.
  Missing in Query/Aggregate: The characteristic is not included in the query or aggregate definition, which can lead to issues when the system tries to access compressed data that it cannot find in the context of the query.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Query Definition: Review the query definition to ensure that the characteristic in question is included. If it is necessary for the analysis, add it to the query.
  Modify Aggregate: If you are using aggregates, check the aggregate definition to ensure that the characteristic is included. If it is not needed, consider removing the compression for that characteristic.
  Decompress the Characteristic: If the characteristic is not needed in the query or aggregate, you can decompress it in the InfoCube. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) by navigating to the InfoCube and adjusting the compression settings.
  Rebuild Aggregates: If you have made changes to the InfoCube or the characteristics, you may need to rebuild the aggregates to ensure they are in sync with the current structure of the InfoCube.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Compression in InfoCubes: Compression is a process that reduces the size of the data stored in an InfoCube by removing redundant data. It is important for performance but can lead to issues if not managed properly.
  Query Designer: Use the Query Designer (transaction RSRT) to modify and test your queries. Ensure that all necessary characteristics are included in the query.
  Data Warehousing Workbench: Use transaction RSA1 to manage InfoCubes, aggregates, and other data warehousing objects.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes available.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDD711 error and ensure that your queries and aggregates function correctly with the compressed characteristics.
