  The SAP error message RSO613 indicates that a dimension was added during a version comparison in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This typically occurs when there are discrepancies between the versions of a data model or InfoProvider, such as an InfoCube or a MultiProvider.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A new dimension has been added to a data model or InfoProvider in one version, but the other version does not recognize this change.
