• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG013 - Missing and superfluous partitions of F-Fact tables ?

  The SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG013 indicates that there are issues with the partitioning of F-Fact tables in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when the system detects inconsistencies in the data partitioning of fact tables.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Partitions: This occurs when the system expects certain partitions to exist based on the data model or configuration, but they are not present. This can happen due to data loading issues, incorrect configuration, or manual deletions.
  
  
  Superfluous Partitions: This happens when there are partitions in the fact tables that are not needed or expected. This can occur due to incorrect data loading processes, or if partitions were created but not properly managed or removed after data loads.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG013 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Analyze the Partitions:
  
  Use transaction code RSMSSANALYZER to analyze the partitions of the fact tables. This tool will help you identify which partitions are missing or superfluous.
  
  
  
  Check Data Load Processes:
  
  Review the data load processes to ensure that they are correctly configured and that they are populating the expected partitions. Check for any errors in the data load logs.
  
  
  
  Adjust Partitioning:
  
  If partitions are missing, you may need to create them manually or adjust the data load process to ensure that they are created as expected.
  If there are superfluous partitions, you can remove them using the appropriate SAP BW tools or transactions, ensuring that you do not delete any partitions that are still in use.
  
  
  
  Re-Run the Data Load:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the data load process to ensure that the fact tables are populated correctly and that the partitions are aligned with the data model.
