• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART687 - DIMIDs found in F fact table &1 with REQUEST ID = 0 ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART687 indicates that there are dimension IDs (DIMIDs) found in a fact table that are not properly associated with a request ID. This typically occurs during the process of data extraction or loading into the data warehouse, particularly in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The fact table contains dimension IDs that do not have corresponding entries in the dimension tables. This inconsistency can arise from data loading issues or incorrect data modeling.
  Request ID = 0: The error specifically mentions that the request ID is 0, which means that the data is not associated with a valid data request. This can happen if the data was not loaded correctly or if there was an issue during the data extraction process.
  Data Transfer Issues: Problems during the data transfer from the source system to the BW system can lead to incomplete or corrupted data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Verify that all dimension IDs in the fact table have corresponding entries in the relevant dimension tables. You can do this by running queries or using transaction codes like RSA1 to analyze the data model.
  Reprocess the Data Load: If the data load was interrupted or failed, you may need to reprocess the data load for the affected InfoProvider. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1) or using the relevant data load transaction.
  Check for Errors in Data Transfer: Review the logs for the data transfer process to identify any errors or warnings that may have occurred. This can provide insights into what went wrong during the data load.
  Repair the Data: If you find that there are orphaned dimension IDs, you may need to clean up the data in the fact table or re-load the data from the source system to ensure consistency.
  Use Transaction RSD1: You can use transaction RSD1 to check the InfoObject settings and ensure that the dimensions are correctly defined and linked to the fact table.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance), and RSMO (Monitor Data Load).
  Data Modeling: Understanding the data model and relationships between fact and dimension tables in SAP BW is crucial for troubleshooting this error.
  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.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
