How To Fix RSDODSO193 - Table &1 is too long (&2 bytes); Maximum &3 bytes

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDODSO - Messages for ODS Objects

• Message number: 193

• Message text: Table &1 is too long (&2 bytes); Maximum &3 bytes

What causes this issue?

Table &V1& has a length of &V2& bytes. Only a maximum of &V3& bytes are
allowed.

System Response

In the customer system this is merely a warning, since the maximum
length depends on the type of database. If no errors occur when you
activate the object (InfoObject or DataStore object), that means your
database supports longer tables. <ZH>However, activation errors may
still occur if you transport the object to a system with a different
database.</>
In the SAP system this is an error because the standard Business Content
must support all databases.

How to fix this error?

Remove InfoObjects (attributes) from the object until the length of
table &V1& is equal to or less than &V3& bytes.
<ZH>Ignore this warning only if you are sure that all of your systems
now run and will in the future run on databases that support tables of
this length.</>

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO193 - Table &1 is too long (&2 bytes); Maximum &3 bytes ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO193 indicates that a certain table (denoted as &1 in the message) has exceeded the maximum allowed size of &3 bytes, with the current size being &2 bytes. This error typically occurs in the context of DataStore Objects (DSOs) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the data being loaded or processed exceeds the defined limits.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Volume: The primary cause of this error is that the data being loaded into the DSO exceeds the maximum size limit set for the table. This can happen if:
  
  The data being loaded is too large (e.g., too many records or large field sizes).
  The structure of the DSO has been defined in such a way that it cannot accommodate the incoming data.
  
  
  
  Field Lengths: If the fields in the DSO are defined with lengths that are too short for the incoming data, this can also lead to the error.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the DSO or the InfoObject definitions can lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Volume: Review the volume of data being loaded into the DSO. If the data is indeed too large, consider filtering or aggregating the data before loading it.
  
  
  Adjust Field Lengths: If specific fields are causing the issue due to their lengths, you may need to:
  
  Increase the field lengths in the DSO definition.
  Ensure that the InfoObjects associated with the DSO have appropriate lengths defined.
  
  
  
  Review DSO Configuration: Check the configuration of the DSO to ensure it is set up correctly to handle the expected data volume. This includes:
  
  Reviewing the data model and ensuring it aligns with the data being loaded.
  Checking for any transformations or data flows that may be causing excessive data growth.
  
  
  
  Data Compression: If applicable, consider using data compression techniques to reduce the size of the data being loaded.
  
  
  Archiving: If the DSO is accumulating historical data that is no longer needed for reporting, consider archiving old data to free up space.
  
  
  Monitoring and Alerts: Set up monitoring and alerts for data loads to catch potential issues before they result in errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to RSDODSO193 for any specific patches or updates that may address this issue.
  SAP BW Documentation: Review the SAP BW documentation for best practices on managing DSOs and data loads.
