• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER132 - Inconsistent hierarchy indexes found ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER132 indicates that there are inconsistent hierarchy indexes found in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with InfoObjects that have hierarchies defined.
  Cause:
  The inconsistency in hierarchy indexes can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Data Load Issues: If there were issues during data loading processes, it could lead to inconsistencies in the hierarchy.
  Changes in Hierarchies: If hierarchies were modified (e.g., nodes added or removed) without properly updating the indexes, inconsistencies can occur.
  Transport Issues: If hierarchies were transported from one system to another without proper synchronization, it could lead to inconsistencies.
  Database Corruption: In rare cases, database corruption can lead to inconsistencies in the hierarchy indexes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Rebuild Hierarchy Index:
  
  Go to transaction code RSD1 (InfoObject maintenance).
  Select the InfoObject that is causing the issue.
  Navigate to the "Hierarchy" tab.
  Use the option to "Rebuild Hierarchy Index" or "Reorganize Hierarchy". This will regenerate the indexes and should resolve the inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Data Load:
  
  Review the data load process to ensure that there were no errors during the loading of data that could have affected the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects (including hierarchies) were transported correctly and are in sync.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Use transaction RSD1 to perform a consistency check on the hierarchy. This can help identify any further issues that need to be addressed.
