• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UWS_SURVEY052 - Only the first 20 characters of the survey ID & passed to BW ?

  The SAP error message UWS_SURVEY052 indicates that there is a limitation in the system where only the first 20 characters of the survey ID are being passed to BW (Business Warehouse). This can lead to issues if the survey ID exceeds this character limit, potentially causing data integrity problems or making it difficult to identify the correct survey.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the survey ID being used exceeds the 20-character limit imposed by the system. This can happen if:
  
  The survey ID is generated or defined in a way that it is longer than 20 characters.
  There is a mismatch between the expected format of the survey ID in BW and the actual format being used.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Survey ID Length: Review the survey IDs being generated or used in your system. Ensure that they do not exceed 20 characters. If they do, consider modifying the ID generation logic to create shorter IDs.
  
  
  Modify Survey ID Generation: If you have control over how survey IDs are generated, you may want to implement a new naming convention that ensures IDs are within the 20-character limit.
  
  
  Update BW Configuration: If possible, check if there are any settings in BW that can accommodate longer survey IDs. However, this may not always be feasible if the limitation is hardcoded.
  
  
  Data Mapping: If you need to work with longer survey IDs, consider creating a mapping table that associates the longer IDs with their corresponding shorter versions. This way, you can maintain the integrity of the data while adhering to the character limit.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or support notes related to this error message for any specific recommendations or patches that may address the issue.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the problem persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance tailored to your specific system configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide updates to the system that could resolve the issue.
  System Configuration: Review the configuration settings in both the survey management and BW systems to ensure they are aligned and compatible.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the new survey IDs are being processed correctly and that there are no further issues with data transfer to BW.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the UWS_SURVEY052 error and ensure that your survey IDs are handled correctly within the SAP environment.
