• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDSO_TEST001 - Unexpected data type ?

  The SAP error message RSDSO_TEST001: Unexpected data type typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is a mismatch in data types between the source and target systems or when the data type of a field is not recognized or supported.
  Causes:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of a field in the source system does not match the expected data type in the target system. For example, a field might be defined as a string in the source but as an integer in the target.
  Unsupported Data Types: The data type used in the source system may not be supported by the target system or the specific data flow.
  Incorrect Data Mapping: During the data modeling or transformation process, the mapping of fields may not have been set up correctly, leading to unexpected data types.
  Changes in Source Structure: If the structure of the source data has changed (e.g., a new field was added or a field's data type was modified), it may lead to this error if the target system is not updated accordingly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types of the fields in both the source and target systems. Ensure that they match and are compatible.
  Update Data Mapping: If there are discrepancies in the data mapping, update the transformation rules to ensure that the data types align correctly.
  Modify Data Types: If necessary, modify the data types in the target system to accommodate the source data types. This may involve changing the data model or the InfoObject definitions.
  Data Type Conversion: Implement data type conversion functions in the transformation process to convert data types as needed.
  Test Data Flow: After making changes, test the data flow again to ensure that the error is resolved.
