• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDB404 - Check data (metadata) in the logical index ('&1') ?

  The SAP error message RSDDB404 indicates that there is an issue with the metadata in the logical index specified in the error message. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there are inconsistencies or problems with the data model or the metadata associated with a particular InfoProvider or query.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Metadata: The logical index may have inconsistencies in its metadata, which can occur due to changes in the underlying data model, such as changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or transformations.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., adding or removing fields, changing data types), the logical index may not be updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the logical index was transported from one system to another, there may be discrepancies in the metadata.
  Data Loading Issues: If there were issues during data loading processes, it could lead to inconsistencies in the logical index.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Metadata: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the metadata of the logical index. Ensure that all InfoObjects and InfoProviders referenced in the logical index are correctly defined and active.
  Rebuild the Logical Index: If inconsistencies are found, you may need to rebuild the logical index. This can often be done by deleting the existing index and creating a new one.
  Activate Objects: Ensure that all related objects (InfoObjects, InfoProviders, etc.) are activated. Sometimes, simply reactivating the objects can resolve the issue.
  Check for Transport Issues: If the logical index was transported, verify that all dependent objects were also transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust the objects in the target system.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the data model to identify any other potential issues that may be affecting the logical index.
