• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRO557 - Different numbers of rows ?

  The SAP error message RSDRO557, which states "Different numbers of rows," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a mismatch in the number of rows between the source and target data during a data transfer or data load process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the extraction of data from a source system, loading data into an InfoProvider, or during the execution of a query.
  Causes:
  
  Data Mismatch: The number of records in the source data does not match the number of records expected in the target (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object).
  Transformation Issues: If there are transformations applied to the data, they may not be correctly configured, leading to discrepancies in the number of rows.
  Data Source Changes: Changes in the structure or content of the data source (e.g., changes in the underlying database) can lead to mismatches.
  Filters or Conditions: Filters applied during the data extraction or loading process may result in fewer records being processed than expected.
  Errors in Data Load Process: Issues during the data load process, such as failed records or errors in the data flow, can lead to incomplete data being loaded.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Source: Verify the data source to ensure that it contains the expected number of records. You can run a query or a report to check the record count.
  Review Transformations: Examine the transformation rules to ensure they are correctly set up and not filtering out records unintentionally.
  Monitor Data Load Process: Check the data load logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the number of rows is different. Look for any failed records or issues during the load.
  Adjust Filters: If filters are applied, review them to ensure they are not overly restrictive and are aligned with the expected data.
  Re-run Data Load: If you identify issues, correct them and re-run the data load process to see if the problem persists.
  Data Consistency Checks: Implement consistency checks to compare the number of records in the source and target systems regularly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor and manage data loads.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP): Review the DTP settings and monitor the execution to identify any discrepancies.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs in the SAP BW system for more detailed information about the error.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation, as they may have access to more detailed logs and system settings.
