How To Fix RSO_RES_QMSGS043 - Component &1 contains incompatible content of version &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSO_RES_QMSGS - Messages directly related to Query Designer.

• Message number: 043

• Message text: Component &1 contains incompatible content of version &2

What causes this issue?

By default, the Query Designer in the BW Modeling Tools does not support
opening/modifying queries and reusable objects (like calculated key
figures) created on SAP BW 3.x. The data model of objects like these on
SAP BW 3.x is slightly different to the SAP BW 7.x models.
In case of a query, all objects with a version number lower than 100 are
based on the SAP BW 3.x model.

System Response

The requested object cannot be opened, and the following message will be
returned: Component <Query Name> contains incompatible content of
version <Version Number>.

How to fix this error?

You can open and save the affected object using BEx Query Designer. With
this step, the model will be upgraded to the SAP BW 7.x model.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS043 - Component &1 contains incompatible content of version &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS043 indicates that there is an issue with the content of a component in a query or report, specifically that the component is incompatible due to version differences. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environments when dealing with queries, data sources, or InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Version Mismatch: The component (like a characteristic or key figure) has been modified or updated in a way that is not compatible with the version of the query or report you are trying to execute.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the versions may not match if the transport did not include all necessary objects or if there were changes made in the target system after the transport.
  Inconsistent Metadata: Changes in the underlying data model (like changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or queries) that have not been properly synchronized can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Version Compatibility:
  
  Verify the version of the component mentioned in the error message. Ensure that it matches the expected version in the query or report.
  If you have access to the SAP BW system, you can check the version of the InfoObject or InfoProvider in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Query:
  
  Sometimes, simply reactivating the query can resolve the issue. Go to the Query Designer, open the query, and activate it again.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and that there were no errors during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Update the Query:
  
  If the underlying data model has changed, you may need to update the query to reflect these changes. This can involve modifying the query to use the new version of the component or adjusting the data model accordingly.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  Clear the BW query cache. Sometimes, stale cache entries can lead to version mismatch errors. You can do this using transaction RSRT or RSBIC to clear the cache for specific queries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP Notes and documentation related to the specific error message. SAP may provide additional insights or patches that can help resolve the issue.
