• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO702 - The number of copies for object &1 &2 is different from the others ?

  The SAP error message RSO702 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the number of copies for a specific object (like a report or a query) in the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) system. This typically occurs when you are trying to execute or manage multiple versions of an object, and the system detects that the number of copies for one or more of these objects does not match the others.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the object in question (e.g., a query or report) has been configured with different settings or versions that specify a different number of copies. This can happen due to:
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: Different versions of the same object may have been created with varying settings.
  Transport Issues: If objects were transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), inconsistencies may arise if the transport did not include all necessary versions or copies.
  Manual Changes: Manual adjustments to the object settings in one environment without corresponding changes in others can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSO702 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Object Versions: Review the versions of the object in question. Ensure that all versions have the same number of copies configured.
  
  
  Consistency Check: Use transaction codes like RSO1 (for InfoProviders) or RSO2 (for Queries) to check the consistency of the objects. Look for discrepancies in the number of copies.
  
  
  Adjust Settings: If you find that the number of copies is indeed different, adjust the settings to ensure that all versions of the object have the same number of copies.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue arose due to transport, ensure that all necessary objects and their configurations are included in the transport request. Re-transport the objects if necessary.
  
  
  Recreate Object: In some cases, if the object is not too complex, it may be easier to recreate it with the correct settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific object type you are dealing with for additional guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSO1, RSO2, RSA1 (for Data Warehousing Workbench), and RSRT (for executing queries).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the RSO702 error.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the RSO702 error in your SAP BW system.
