• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME803 - Model fields are different in inactive and active versions. ?

  The SAP error message RSDME803 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the fields defined in the inactive and active versions of a data model (such as an InfoObject or a DataStore Object) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This typically occurs when changes have been made to the model but have not been properly activated or when there are inconsistencies between the two versions.
  Cause:
  
  Field Changes: Fields have been added, removed, or modified in the inactive version of the model, but these changes have not been activated.
  Inconsistent Metadata: The metadata (such as field names, data types, or attributes) in the active version does not match the metadata in the inactive version.
  Transport Issues: If the model was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies due to missing or incomplete transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDME803 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Inactive Version:
  
  Go to the relevant InfoObject or DataStore Object in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Compare the fields in the inactive version with those in the active version.
  
  
  
  Activate Changes:
  
  If you have made changes to the inactive version that need to be reflected in the active version, activate the inactive version.
  Use the transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench, navigate to the object, and activate it.
  
  
  
  Reconcile Differences:
  
  If there are fields that need to be added or removed, make the necessary adjustments in the inactive version and then activate it.
  Ensure that the data types and attributes of the fields are consistent between the two versions.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the model was transported, ensure that all relevant transport requests have been successfully imported into the target system.
  Check for any missing objects or dependencies that may have caused the inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  After activation, check for any additional error messages that may indicate further issues with the model.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Once the discrepancies are resolved and the model is activated, test the model to ensure that it functions as expected.
