• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO897 - Request &1 marked as incorrect due to type &2 (may possibly be correct) ?

  The SAP error message RSO897 indicates that a request in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system has been marked as incorrect due to a type mismatch. This typically occurs during the data loading process when the system detects that the data type of the incoming data does not match the expected data type for the target InfoObject or data structure.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause is that the data being loaded into the InfoProvider does not match the expected data type. For example, if a numeric field is expected but a character string is provided, this error may occur.
  Transformation Issues: If there are transformations defined in the data flow that incorrectly map fields or change data types, this can lead to mismatches.
  Source System Changes: Changes in the source system (like changes in data types or structures) that are not reflected in the BW system can also cause this error.
  Data Quality Issues: Poor data quality in the source system can lead to unexpected data types being sent to BW.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types of the fields in the source system and compare them with the target InfoObjects in BW. Ensure that they match.
  Review Transformations: Check the transformations in the data flow for any incorrect mappings or data type conversions. Make necessary adjustments to ensure that the data types align correctly.
  Data Preview: Use the data preview functionality in the DataSource to inspect the data being loaded. This can help identify any discrepancies in the data types.
  Adjust Source System: If the source system has changed, update the DataSource in BW to reflect these changes. This may involve modifying the extraction logic or updating the InfoObjects.
  Error Handling: If the data is indeed correct but the system is marking it as incorrect, you may need to adjust the error handling settings in BW to allow for exceptions or to log the errors for further analysis.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage InfoProviders and transformations, and RSMO (Monitor Data Load) to monitor data loads and view errors.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide patches and updates.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on data modeling, transformations, and error handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the RSO897 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
