• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1197 - Entries already exist for request &1, DSO &2 that are inconsistent ?

  The SAP error message RSM1197 indicates that there are inconsistencies in the data for a specific DataStore Object (DSO) due to the presence of duplicate entries for a particular request. This can occur during data loading processes, especially when trying to load data into a DSO that already has entries for the same request.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Requests: The error typically arises when a data load request is attempted that has already been processed, leading to duplicate entries in the DSO.
  Inconsistent Data: The data in the DSO may not match the expected format or structure, leading to inconsistencies.
  Failed Load Attempts: If a previous data load attempt failed and was not properly rolled back, it could leave behind inconsistent data.
  Data Source Issues: Problems with the data source or transformations can lead to unexpected duplicates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Requests: Review the requests that have already been loaded into the DSO. You can do this by navigating to the DSO in the SAP BW system and checking the request logs.
  Delete Duplicate Entries: If you find that there are indeed duplicate entries for the request, you may need to delete the inconsistent entries. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench or by using the appropriate transaction codes (like RSA1).
  Reprocess the Request: After resolving the duplicates, you can reprocess the data load request. Ensure that the data source is correct and that there are no issues with the data being loaded.
  Check for Data Consistency: Use the DataStore Object's consistency check tools to ensure that the data is consistent before attempting to load again.
  Monitor Load Processes: Implement monitoring for your data load processes to catch any issues early and prevent them from causing inconsistencies in the future.
  
  Related Information:
