• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART762 - InfoProvider &1 does not use data row compression ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART762 indicates that the specified InfoProvider (denoted as &1 in the message) does not utilize data row compression. This can occur in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environments, particularly when dealing with InfoCubes or DataStore Objects (DSOs).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the InfoProvider in question is not configured to use data row compression. Data row compression is a feature that optimizes storage and improves performance by reducing the size of the data stored in the InfoProvider. If the InfoProvider is not set up to use this feature, it may lead to inefficient data storage and slower query performance.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoProvider in the SAP BW system.
  Check the settings related to data row compression. This can typically be found in the InfoCube or DSO properties.
  
  
  
  Enable Data Row Compression:
  
  If data row compression is not enabled, you can enable it. This usually involves adjusting the settings in the InfoProvider's properties.
  For InfoCubes, you can do this in the InfoCube maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) by navigating to the InfoCube and checking the compression settings.
  
  
  
  Perform Data Compression:
  
  After enabling data row compression, you may need to perform a data compression operation. This can be done through the transaction code RSA1:
  
  Navigate to the InfoCube.
  Right-click on the InfoCube and select the option for compression.
  Execute the compression process to apply the changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Data Load Issues:
  
  Ensure that there are no issues with data loading that might prevent the InfoProvider from being compressed. Check for any errors in the data load process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to your version of SAP BW, as the steps may vary slightly depending on the version.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Data Row Compression: This is a feature in SAP BW that helps in reducing the size of the data stored in InfoProviders, which can lead to improved performance during query execution.
  InfoProvider Types: Understand the different types of InfoProviders (e.g., InfoCubes, DSOs) and their specific settings related to data compression.
  Performance Tuning: Regularly monitor and tune the performance of your BW system, including the use of compression, to ensure optimal performance.
