  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Settings: Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and verify the settings for the InfoObject in question. Ensure that the high cardinality setting is appropriate for the data it is expected to handle.
  Data Consistency Check: Use transaction RSRV to run consistency checks on the InfoObject and the associated InfoProvider. This can help identify any inconsistencies in the data model.
  Adjust High Cardinality Setting: If the high cardinality setting is not needed, consider adjusting it to a more appropriate level based on the actual data characteristics.
  Reprocess Data: If there are issues with the data, consider reprocessing the data load to ensure that the InfoObject is populated correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoObject and its high cardinality settings for any additional guidance or best practices.
