• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1196 - SID &1 is smaller than the compress SID of cube &2; no request booking ?

  The SAP error message RSM1196 indicates that there is an issue with the size of the SID (Surrogate ID) for a particular InfoObject in a Data Warehouse or InfoCube. Specifically, it states that the SID for the specified InfoObject is smaller than the compressed SID of the cube, which prevents the request from being booked.
  Cause:
  
  SID Size Mismatch: The error typically occurs when the SID for a characteristic in the InfoCube is not properly aligned with the compressed SID. This can happen if there are changes in the master data or if the SID table has not been updated correctly.
  Data Inconsistency: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the InfoObject has been modified (e.g., new values added) without proper updates to the SID tables, this error can occur.
  Compression Issues: If the InfoCube has been compressed and the SID for the incoming data is not compatible with the compressed data, this error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Master Data: Ensure that the master data for the characteristic in question is complete and consistent. You may need to reload or update the master data.
  Rebuild SIDs: You can try to rebuild the SIDs for the affected InfoObject. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the transaction code RSD1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Navigating to the InfoObject and checking the SID table.
  If necessary, you can use the transaction RSMO to manage the data load and check for any inconsistencies.
  
  
  Reprocess the Data Load: If the data load was interrupted or failed, you may need to reprocess the data load request. Ensure that the data is consistent before reprocessing.
  Check Compression: If the InfoCube has been compressed, consider decompressing it to see if that resolves the issue. You can use transaction RSA1 to manage the InfoCube and its compression settings.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance), and RSMO (Manage Data Load).
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation for InfoCubes and SIDs to understand how they work and how to manage them effectively.
  Data Consistency Checks: Regularly perform data consistency checks to ensure that your InfoObjects and InfoCubes are in sync and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation and support.
