• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_ZA408 - Check cube attribute consistency ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_ZA408, which indicates "Check cube attribute consistency," typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are inconsistencies between the attributes of InfoObjects and the data in the InfoCube. This can occur during data loading, reporting, or when performing data modeling tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Attributes: The attributes defined in the InfoObject may not match the data stored in the InfoCube. This can happen if attributes were changed after data was loaded or if there are discrepancies in the data model.
  Data Load Issues: If there were issues during the data load process, such as missing or incorrect data, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Changes in InfoObject: If an InfoObject's attributes were modified (e.g., changing data types, adding or removing attributes) after data was already loaded into the InfoCube, it can lead to this error.
  Master Data Issues: If the master data for the InfoObjects is inconsistent or incomplete, it can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Definitions: Review the definitions of the InfoObjects involved to ensure that all attributes are correctly defined and consistent with the data in the InfoCube.
  Re-activate InfoObjects: If changes were made to the InfoObjects, re-activate them in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) to ensure that the changes are applied.
  Data Consistency Check: Use the transaction RSD1 to check the InfoObject and ensure that the data is consistent. You can also use the RSDD transaction to check for inconsistencies in the InfoCube.
  Repair Data: If inconsistencies are found, you may need to repair the data. This could involve reloading data from the source system or correcting the master data.
  Data Load: If the issue arose during a data load, consider reloading the data after ensuring that the InfoObjects and InfoCubes are correctly defined.
  Use Repair Tools: SAP provides tools and transactions to help repair inconsistencies, such as RSD1 for InfoObjects and RSDCUBE for InfoCubes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance), and RSDCUBE (InfoCube Maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide specific guidance or fixes for known problems.
  Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on InfoObject and InfoCube design, data loading, and consistency checks.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the RSDD_ZA408 error message in your SAP BW environment.
