• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRD402 - P-DIMID &1 deleted from table &2 (InfoCube &3) ?

  The SAP error message RSDRD402 indicates that a specific dimension ID (P-DIMID) has been deleted from a particular table (usually related to an InfoCube) in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically arises during operations that involve data loading, reporting, or querying when the system tries to access a dimension that no longer exists.
  Cause:
  
  Dimension Deletion: The most common cause of this error is that a dimension associated with an InfoCube has been deleted. This could happen due to changes in the data model, such as restructuring or redesigning the InfoCube.
  Inconsistent Metadata: If the metadata in the BW system is inconsistent, it may lead to references to deleted dimensions.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary objects, it could lead to missing dimensions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dimension Existence: Verify if the dimension ID mentioned in the error message still exists in the InfoCube. You can do this by navigating to the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and checking the dimensions.
  Recreate the Dimension: If the dimension was deleted unintentionally, you may need to recreate it. This can involve re-adding the dimension to the InfoCube and ensuring that all necessary attributes and key figures are included.
  Update Metadata: If the dimension was deleted as part of a planned change, ensure that all related metadata is updated accordingly. This may involve adjusting queries, data sources, and other objects that reference the deleted dimension.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included. You may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  Data Load: If the error occurs during a data load, ensure that the data source and transformation rules are correctly configured to reflect the current structure of the InfoCube.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage InfoCubes and dimensions, and SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the underlying database tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on InfoCubes and dimensions to understand the implications of deleting dimensions and how to manage them effectively.
