  The SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG087 indicates that the table you are trying to repair is either not a fact table or does not exist in the context of the SAP system. This error typically arises when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Fact Table: The table you are trying to repair is not a fact table. In SAP BW, fact tables are those that contain quantitative data for analysis, typically linked to dimensions.
  Table Does Not Exist: The specified table may not exist in the database. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as incorrect naming, deletion, or issues during data loading.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the InfoProvider or the data model may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the table as a valid fact table.
  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the table to not be created or recognized properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Table Existence: Check if the table exists in the database. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to look for the table.
  Check Table Type: Ensure that the table you are trying to repair is indeed a fact table. You can do this by reviewing the InfoObject settings in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Recreate the Table: If the table does not exist, you may need to recreate it. This could involve reloading data or reconfiguring the InfoProvider.
  Check Data Model: Review the data model and ensure that all InfoProviders and InfoObjects are correctly configured and linked.
  Transport Issues: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for errors and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
