• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODSO_IMOACT016 - Primary key and semantic key inconsistent for DataStore &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSODSO_IMOACT016 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the primary key and the semantic key in a DataStore Object (DSO). This typically occurs when the data being loaded into the DSO does not match the expected structure defined by the DSO's key fields.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The data being loaded into the DSO may not conform to the primary key and semantic key definitions. This can happen if:
  
  The data source has changed, and the new data does not match the expected keys.
  There are missing or incorrect key fields in the incoming data.
  The DSO structure has been modified (e.g., key fields added or removed) after the data source was defined.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: The transformation rules or mappings in the data flow may not correctly map the source fields to the DSO key fields.
  
  
  Data Quality Issues: There may be issues with the quality of the data being loaded, such as duplicates or null values in key fields.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DSO Structure: Verify the structure of the DSO to ensure that the primary key and semantic key are correctly defined. Make sure that the key fields are correctly set up in the DSO.
  
  
  Review Data Source: Examine the data source to ensure that it is providing the correct fields and that the data matches the expected format. Ensure that all required key fields are present and populated.
  
  
  Validate Transformation Logic: Review the transformation logic in the data flow to ensure that the mappings from the source to the DSO are correct. Make sure that the key fields from the source are being mapped to the correct key fields in the DSO.
  
  
  Data Cleansing: If there are data quality issues, consider cleansing the data before loading it into the DSO. This may involve removing duplicates, filling in missing values, or correcting data formats.
  
  
  Test Load: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test load to see if the issue is resolved. Monitor the load process for any further errors.
