• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMDP869 - &1 records with invalid versioning found ?

  The SAP error message RSMDP869 indicates that there are records with invalid versioning found in the DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are inconsistencies in the data versioning, which can happen due to various reasons such as data load issues, incorrect data updates, or inconsistencies in the data model.
  Cause:
  
  Data Load Issues: If there was an error during the data load process, it might leave behind records that do not conform to the expected versioning rules.
  Manual Data Manipulation: If data was manually inserted or updated in the database without following the proper procedures, it could lead to versioning issues.
  Inconsistent Data Model: Changes in the data model (like changes in the DSO structure) that are not properly managed can lead to versioning problems.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP) Errors: Issues in the DTP settings or execution can also lead to invalid records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Invalid Records: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to analyze the DSO and identify the records causing the issue.
  Repair the Data: Depending on the situation, you may need to:
  
  Delete the invalid records manually if they are not needed.
  Reload the data from the source system if the records are necessary.
  
  
  Check Data Load Processes: Review the data load processes to ensure they are functioning correctly and that there are no errors in the DTP or InfoPackage.
  Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the DSO to ensure that all records conform to the expected versioning rules.
  Adjust Data Model: If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that all related processes and transformations are updated accordingly.
