• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART688 - DIMIDs found in E fact table &1 with REQUEST ID <> 0 ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART688 indicates that there are dimension IDs (DIMIDs) found in an E fact table that are associated with a request ID that is not equal to zero. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are inconsistencies in the data loading process, particularly when dealing with InfoObjects and their associated dimensions.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The error usually arises when there are dimension IDs in the fact table that do not match the expected structure or are not properly linked to the corresponding dimension tables.
  Data Load Issues: It can occur if there was an issue during the data load process, such as a failed or incomplete data load, which left behind orphaned records in the fact table.
  Request ID: The presence of a non-zero request ID indicates that the data was loaded from a specific request, but the dimensions are not correctly aligned with the fact data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Load Process: Review the data load process for the InfoProvider in question. Ensure that the data was loaded successfully and that there were no errors during the load.
  Reprocess the Data: If the data load was incomplete or failed, you may need to reprocess the data. This can involve:
  
  Deleting the problematic request from the InfoProvider.
  Reloading the data from the source system.
  
  
  Check for Orphaned Records: Use transaction codes like RSA1 to analyze the InfoProvider and check for any orphaned records in the fact table. You may need to clean up these records.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the InfoObjects and the associated dimensions to ensure that all necessary relationships are intact.
  Data Repair: If necessary, you may need to manually repair the data in the database, but this should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of a BW expert.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor and manage data loads and InfoProviders.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and managing InfoProviders to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or a BW consultant for further assistance.
