How To Fix RSRV112 - Multiple inputs in an InfoCube dimension

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRV -

• Message number: 112

• Message text: Multiple inputs in an InfoCube dimension

Description
This elementary test recognizes whether there are several lines that
have different <SE><AB>DIMID</></>s(dimension table key), but have the
same <AB>SID</>s for the selected dimension table for the InfoCube
specified. (This can occur by using parallel loading jobs). This has
nothing to do with an inconsistency. However, unnecessary storage space
is occupied in the database.

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

Repairs
Since the different <EX>DIMID</>s with the same SIDs are normally used
in the fact tables, they cannot simply be deleted. Therefore, all of
the different DIMIDS in the fact tables are replaced by one DIMID that
is randomly selected from the equivalent ones. Before a change can be
made to the database, the consent of the user is requested.
<EX>DIMID</>s that have become unnecessary are deleted in the
connection. In doing so, not only are the <EX>DIMD</>s deleted that
were released in the first part of the repair, but so are all of those
that are no longer used in the fact tables (including aggregates). The
consent of the user is again requested before this change is made.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRV112 - Multiple inputs in an InfoCube dimension ?

  The SAP error message RSRV112 indicates that there are multiple inputs in an InfoCube dimension, which can lead to inconsistencies in the data model. This error typically arises during the data loading or reporting processes when the system encounters multiple values for a single dimension attribute that should only have one value.
  Cause:
  The primary causes of the RSRV112 error include:
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be multiple records in the dimension table that correspond to a single key in the fact table, leading to ambiguity in data retrieval.
  Incorrect Data Modeling: The InfoCube may not be properly designed, resulting in dimensions that do not uniquely identify a single record.
  Data Load Issues: During the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, data may not have been transformed or loaded correctly, leading to duplicates or multiple entries for a single dimension key.
  Master Data Issues: Problems with master data, such as duplicates or incorrect relationships, can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRV112 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Dimension Table: Use transaction code RSRV to analyze the dimension table associated with the InfoCube. Look for duplicate entries or inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  Data Cleansing: If duplicates are found, you may need to clean the data in the source system or the InfoCube. This could involve removing duplicates or correcting the data to ensure that each key in the dimension table corresponds to a unique value.
  
  
  Review Data Load Process: Examine the data load process to ensure that it is correctly transforming and loading data into the InfoCube. Check for any transformations that may be causing duplicates.
  
  
  Adjust Data Model: If the data model is not designed correctly, consider redesigning the InfoCube or the dimensions to ensure that they properly reflect the relationships between facts and dimensions.
  
  
  Use Data Quality Tools: Implement data quality tools or processes to regularly check for and resolve data inconsistencies in your InfoCube.
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks: After making corrections, run consistency checks using transaction RSRV to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction RSRV: This transaction is used for checking the consistency of InfoCubes, DataStore Objects (DSOs), and other BW objects.
  Data Warehousing Workbench: Familiarize yourself with the Data Warehousing Workbench in SAP BW for better understanding and management of InfoCubes and dimensions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the underlying issues causing the RSRV112 error in your SAP BW environment.
