How To Fix RSRV183 - Check for Characteristic Values from Text Table in SID Table

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRV -

• Message number: 183

• Message text: Check for Characteristic Values from Text Table in SID Table

Description:
The text table of a characteristic has a characteristic value as a key
field. The characteristic values that appear in this column of the text
table must also appear in the <AB>SID</> table for the characteristic.
Characteristic values from the text table found in this test that do
not appear in the <AB>SID</> table do not impede the normal operation of
Business Information Warehouse. However, when you convert
characteristic values that, in view of the conversion routine that you
are using, are in an incorrect format, such characteristic values can
lead to a short dump in the conversion program (see
<DS:DT.RSMD_CONVERSION>Converting Inconsistent Internal Characteristic
Values (Transaction RSMDCNVEXIT)</>).
Repairs:
You can correct inconsistencies found in the test in the repair mode.
New entries are then written into the SID table.

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 RSRV183 - Check for Characteristic Values from Text Table in SID Table ?

  The SAP error message RSRV183, which states "Check for Characteristic Values from Text Table in SID Table," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the characteristic values in the text table and the SID (Surrogate ID) table.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The characteristic values in the text table do not match the entries in the SID table. This can happen if data was loaded incorrectly or if there were changes in the master data that were not reflected in the SID table.
  Missing Entries: There may be entries in the text table that do not have corresponding entries in the SID table, leading to inconsistencies.
  Data Load Issues: Problems during the data load process, such as errors in the extraction, transformation, or loading phases, can lead to this error.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as adding or modifying characteristics, can lead to inconsistencies if the data is not properly updated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Run the RSRV Transaction: Use transaction RSRV to check the consistency of the characteristic values. This transaction allows you to analyze and repair inconsistencies in the data.
  
  Go to transaction RSRV.
  Enter the error message code (RSRV183) in the appropriate field.
  Execute the check to identify the inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Repair Inconsistencies: Based on the results from RSRV, you may need to:
  
  Update the SID table to include missing entries.
  Remove or correct entries in the text table that do not match the SID table.
  Reload the data if necessary, ensuring that the data load process is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Data Load Process: Review the data load process to ensure that it is functioning correctly. Check for any errors in the data extraction or transformation steps that could lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Rebuild the SID Table: In some cases, it may be necessary to rebuild the SID table for the affected characteristic. This can be done by:
  
  Deleting the existing SID entries.
  Reloading the master data to regenerate the SID table.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to this error for additional guidance and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: RSRV (Consistency Check), RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), and RSMO (Monitor Data Load).
  SAP Notes: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions for this specific error.
  Data Modeling: Understanding the data model and how characteristics and SID tables are structured can help in troubleshooting and preventing future issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSRV183 error and ensure the consistency of your SAP BW data.
