How To Fix RSDRV_VPROHANA007 - Data type of char. &1 (&3) is not equal to data type of attribute &2 (&4)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDRV_VPROHANA - Message Class for VirtualProvider Based on SAP HANA Model

• Message number: 007

• Message text: Data type of char. &1 (&3) is not equal to data type of attribute &2 (&4)

What causes this issue?

The data type for characteristic &v1& (&v3&) is not the same as the data
type of attribute &v2& of SAP HANA model (&v4&).

System Response

As the data types are different, undesirable effects might arise when
are queries performed on this InfoProvider. The result might not be
transferred from the SAP HANA server to the type on the ABAP side for
example. Misinterpretations can also arise during analysis of the
filters on the SAP HANA side, resulting in unexpected results or in no
result at all.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRV_VPROHANA007 - Data type of char. &1 (&3) is not equal to data type of attribute &2 (&4) ?

  The SAP error message RSDRV_VPROHANA007 indicates a data type mismatch between a characteristic and its corresponding attribute in a data model, particularly in the context of SAP HANA or SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically arises when there is an inconsistency in the data types defined for a characteristic and its associated attribute.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The error occurs when the data type of a characteristic (e.g., a field in a data source) does not match the data type of the attribute defined in the InfoObject. For example, if the characteristic is defined as a CHAR type with a certain length, but the attribute is defined as a different type (e.g., INT or a CHAR type with a different length), this error will be triggered.
  Modeling Errors: Changes in the underlying data model or data source that are not reflected in the InfoObjects can lead to this error.
  Data Source Changes: If the data source has been modified (e.g., a change in the database schema) and the InfoObject has not been updated accordingly, this mismatch can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types of the characteristic and its corresponding attribute in the InfoObject. Ensure that they match in terms of type (e.g., CHAR, INT) and length.
  Update InfoObjects: If there have been changes to the data source, update the InfoObjects to reflect these changes. This may involve modifying the data type or length of the attribute to match the characteristic.
  Re-activate InfoObjects: After making changes, re-activate the InfoObjects to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Data Source Configuration: If the data source has been modified, ensure that the data source configuration in SAP BW is updated to reflect the new structure.
  Check Transformation Rules: If you are using transformations, check the transformation rules to ensure that they are correctly mapping the fields and that the data types are compatible.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on resolving data type mismatches.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on InfoObjects, data modeling, and data source configuration for best practices and guidelines.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the data loads correctly and that the error does not reoccur.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDRV_VPROHANA007 error and ensure that your data model is consistent and functioning correctly.
