• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRQPROV073 - The metadata of the query has changed. Update the Query Snapshot Index. ?

  The SAP error message RSRQPROV073 indicates that the metadata of a query has changed, and as a result, the query snapshot index needs to be updated. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA environments when there are changes made to the underlying data model, such as changes to InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or the structure of the query itself.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Data Model: Modifications to InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or the query definition can lead to discrepancies between the query's metadata and the actual data model.
  Transport Requests: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the query may not be in sync with the new metadata.
  Data Source Changes: Changes in the data source or the underlying data structure can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to update the query snapshot index. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the Query Designer:

  Update the Query Snapshot:
  
  In the Query Designer, you can usually find an option to "Update Snapshot" or "Rebuild Index". This will refresh the metadata and update the snapshot index.
  Alternatively, you can also use transaction code RSRQ to manage query snapshots.
