• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG164 - Check did not find relevant tables that can be decimal compressed ?

  The SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG164 indicates that the system did not find any relevant tables that can be decimal compressed during the analysis of the data in the SAP system. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a data compression operation, particularly in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Relevant Tables: The primary cause of this error is that there are no tables in the specified InfoProvider or data model that meet the criteria for decimal compression. This can happen if:
  
  The data model does not contain any numeric fields that can be compressed.
  The tables are already optimized or do not have sufficient data to warrant compression.
  The data types of the fields do not support decimal compression.
  
  
  
  Data Model Configuration: The configuration of the data model may not be set up correctly to allow for decimal compression.
  
  
  Data Volume: If the volume of data is low, the system may determine that there are no relevant tables to compress.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Model: Review the data model and ensure that it contains numeric fields that can be compressed. Look for fields that are of type DECIMAL or FLOAT.
  
  
  Data Volume: Ensure that there is sufficient data in the tables. If the tables are empty or contain very few records, consider loading more data.
  
  
  Reconfigure Compression Settings: If applicable, check the settings for data compression in the InfoProvider or data model. Ensure that decimal compression is enabled and configured correctly.
  
  
  Run Analysis Again: After making any necessary adjustments, rerun the analysis to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be bug fixes or improvements related to data compression.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to data compression for specific guidance on your version of SAP BW or HANA.
