How To Fix RSRV274 - Time intervals in Q table for a characteristic with time-dep. master data

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRV -

• Message number: 274

• Message text: Time intervals in Q table for a characteristic with time-dep. master data

<ZH>Description</>
The <DS:GLOS.15C7C0969E43D51188040090273D34CB>Q table</> for a
characteristic includes the values for the time-dependent attributes.
For characteristics without time-dependent master data, there is no Q
table. In this case, this test does not execute any checks.
With this test, you can check the Q table for a characteristic to see if
the time intervals included for a specification also include the time
frame from 01.01.1000 to 31.12.9999 without any gaps or overlaps.
The test is executed both for the active version and the most recently
changed version.
Repairs
If the test is executed in 'Repair' mode, all detected inconsistencies
are removed if possible.
For example, if the deletion flag (CHANGED column) is incorrectly set
('D' instead of being blank or vice versa) with an active data record
(OBJVERS='A'), this type of inconsistency can be removed in most cases.
In the case of characteristics with navigation attributes, the
respective Y table has to be rebuilt after repairing the Q table. Note
that changes to the X or Y tables for a characteristic require
reconstruction of all aggregates that use a navigation attribute for the
characteristic or for one of the characteristics that refer to the
characteristic.
To rebuild the Y table, perform the steps specified in OSS Note 323140.
Note
If inconsistencies still remain after a repair run, it can take up to 3
repair runs to remove all inconsistencies.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRV274 - Time intervals in Q table for a characteristic with time-dep. master data ?

  The SAP error message RSRV274 indicates that there is an issue with time intervals in the Q table (Quality table) for a characteristic that has time-dependent master data. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with InfoObjects that have time-dependent attributes.
  Cause:
  The error usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Inconsistent Time Intervals: The time intervals defined for the characteristic in the master data may not be consistent. For example, there may be overlapping time intervals or gaps in the time intervals that are not allowed.
  
  
  Missing Time Intervals: There may be missing time intervals for certain records in the Q table, which can lead to inconsistencies when querying or reporting.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Load: If the data load process did not complete successfully or if there were issues during the extraction, transformation, or loading (ETL) process, it could lead to inconsistencies in the Q table.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or InfoObject definitions that are not properly reflected in the master data can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRV274 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Time Intervals: Use transaction code RSRV to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and check the time intervals for the characteristic in question. Look for any overlapping or missing intervals.
  
  
  Correct Inconsistencies: If you find any inconsistencies, correct them by adjusting the time intervals in the master data. Ensure that there are no overlaps and that all necessary intervals are defined.
  
  
  Reprocess Data: If the issue is due to a failed data load, reprocess the data load for the InfoObject. Ensure that the data is loaded correctly without any errors.
  
  
  Use Repair Functions: In some cases, you can use the repair functions available in RSRV to automatically fix certain types of inconsistencies in the Q table.
  
  
  Check for Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that all related objects are updated accordingly. This includes InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and any transformations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction RSRV: This transaction is used for checking and repairing inconsistencies in the BW system.
  Time-Dependent Master Data: Understand how time-dependent attributes work in SAP BW, as they are crucial for managing historical data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Data Modeling: Familiarize yourself with best practices in data modeling within SAP BW to avoid such issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the underlying issues causing the RSRV274 error in your SAP BW system.
