  • Description
    This test checks whether the used time characteristics of the InfoProvid
    er are consistent with one another. The consistency of time
    characteristics is particularly important for non-cumulative InfoCubes
    and partitioned InfoProviders.
    InfoProvider values that do not match produce incorrect results for non-
    cumulative InfoCubes and InfoProviders that are partitioned according to
    time characteristics.
    For InfoProviders that are partitioned according to time characteristics
    , restrictions on time characteristics are used to derive conditions for
    the partitioning characteristic.
    Errors
    If errors occur, the InfoProvider is flagged as a provider with inconsis
    tent time. This results in the following:
    The derivation of conditions for partitioning criteria is deactivated as
    a result of the non-matching time characteristics. This generally has a
    negative impact on performance.
    If the InfoCube contains non-cumulatives, every time a query is executed
    , the system displays a warning indicating that the data displayed may
    be incorrect.
    Repair Options for InfoCubes
    Caution
    If the InfoCube does not contain non-cumulatives and is not partitioned,
    no action is required.
    If the InfoCube is partitioned, action is only required if the read perf
    ormance significantly deteriorates.
    It is not possible to automatically repair the entries in the time dimen
    sion table. However, it is possible to delete entries from the time
    dimension table that are no longer used.
    In the case of incorrect dimension table entries, the system displays wh
    ether they are still used in the fact table.
    If the entries are no longer used, it is possible to repair this automat
    ically. Any time dimension entries that are no longer used are removed.
    Once the repair is complete, the system checks again whether the time di
    mension is correct. If the time dimension is now correct, the InfoCube
    is flagged as an InfoCube with correct time dimension.
    If the entries are still used, use transaction LISTCUBE to check which d
    ata packages are affected. If required, you can delete the data
    packages, use the repair to remove the time dimension entries that are
    no longer used, and reload the deleted data packages. You must then
    rebuild the InfoCube.

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

This error typically arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the time-related data, such as time characteristics (like fiscal year, period, etc.) between the InfoProvider and the data being processed.
    
    Cause: Inconsistent Time Characteristics: The time characteristics in the InfoProvider do not match the expected values or formats. This can happen if there are changes in the time dimension or if the data source has been modified. Data Load Issues: If there are issues during data loading, such as missing or incorrect time-related data, it can lead to this error. Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of the InfoProvider or the underlying data model can lead to inconsistencies. Data Source Mismatch: If the data source from which the InfoProvider is pulling data has been altered or is not aligned with the InfoProvider's expectations.
