• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS140 - Difference &1 &2, &3: &4 ?

  The SAP error message RSDS140 typically relates to issues with DataSource extraction in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that there is a difference between the data in the source system and the data in the BW system. The message format usually includes placeholders for specific details, such as the DataSource name, the number of records expected, the number of records found, and additional information about the discrepancy.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The data in the source system has changed after the last extraction, leading to a mismatch in the expected and actual record counts.
  Delta Queue Issues: If you are using delta extraction, there may be issues with the delta queue not being processed correctly.
  DataSource Configuration: Incorrect configuration of the DataSource in BW or the source system can lead to discrepancies.
  Data Transfer Issues: Network issues or interruptions during data transfer can result in incomplete data being loaded into BW.
  Data Cleansing: If data cleansing or transformation rules have changed, this can lead to differences in the data being extracted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDS140 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency:
  
  Verify the data in the source system to ensure it matches the expected records.
