• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP095 - Field &1: Data type &2 not allowed for time stamp semantic ?

  The SAP error message RSODP095 indicates that there is an issue with the data type of a field that is being used in a context where a timestamp semantic is expected. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when dealing with data modeling, especially when defining InfoObjects or data sources.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A field that is expected to have a timestamp semantic is assigned a data type that is not compatible with timestamps. For example, if a field is defined as a character string (CHAR) or integer (INT) instead of a timestamp (TIMESTAMP) or date (DATE), this error will occur.
  The data model or InfoObject is incorrectly configured, leading to a mismatch between the expected data type and the actual data type defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSODP095 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Definition:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the field that is causing the error. Ensure that the data type is set to a compatible type for timestamp semantics (e.g., TIMESTAMP or DATE).
  
  
  
  Modify InfoObject:
  
  If the field is part of an InfoObject, navigate to the InfoObject definition (transaction RSA1) and check the data type of the characteristic. If it is incorrectly set, change it to the appropriate timestamp data type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Source:
  
  If the error occurs during data extraction, check the data source configuration. Ensure that the fields being extracted are correctly mapped to the expected data types in the target InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Re-activate Objects:
  
  After making changes to the field definitions or InfoObjects, make sure to activate them. This can often resolve lingering issues related to data type mismatches.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the data load or query again to verify that the error has been resolved.
