• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG086 - Table to repair is not an E-Fact table or does not exist ?

  The SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG086 indicates that the table you are trying to repair is either not an E-Fact table or does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's data warehousing and reporting tools, particularly when working with the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-E-Fact Table: The table you are trying to repair is not classified as an E-Fact table. E-Fact tables are specific types of tables in SAP BW that store fact data.
  Table Does Not Exist: The specified table may not exist in the database. This could be due to a typo in the table name, the table being deleted, or it never being created in the first place.
  Incorrect Table Type: The table might be of a different type (e.g., dimension table) that does not support the operations you are trying to perform.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access or modify the table can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Table Name: Double-check the name of the table you are trying to repair. Ensure that it is spelled correctly and that you are using the correct case (SAP is case-sensitive).
  Check Table Existence: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to check if the table exists in the system.
  Confirm Table Type: Ensure that the table is indeed an E-Fact table. You can check the table type in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or by consulting the data model documentation.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the table. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on E-Fact tables and their structure.
  Recreate the Table: If the table does not exist and is required, you may need to recreate it based on your data model requirements.
  
  Related Information:
