• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS001 - Wrong admin. data for ServDef. &1 in field &2 actual '&3' exp. '&4' ?

  The SAP error message:
  WEBI_CHECKS001 Wrong admin. data for ServDef. &1 in field &2 actual '&3' exp. '&4'
  typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the administrative data related to a service definition (ServDef).
  
  Cause
  
  Mismatch in Service Definition Data: The error indicates that the administrative data for a particular service definition (&1) has an unexpected value in a specific field (&2). The actual value found is &3, but the system expected &4.
  This usually happens when:
  
  There is a version mismatch between the WebI client and the server.
  The CMS (Central Management Server) repository or configuration files are corrupted or inconsistent.
  An upgrade or patch was partially applied, leaving inconsistent service definitions.
  Manual changes or incorrect configurations were made to the service definitions or related administrative data.
  
  
  It can also occur if the WebI processing server or related services are not properly synchronized or if there are issues with the CMS database.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Version Compatibility:
  
  Ensure that the WebI client and server components are running compatible versions.
  Verify that all patches and upgrades have been applied consistently across the environment.
  
  
  
  Restart Services:
  
  Restart the SAP BusinessObjects services, especially the CMS and WebI Processing Server.
  Sometimes, a simple restart can clear temporary inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Verify and Repair CMS Database:
  
  Check the CMS database for inconsistencies.
  Use the ccm (Central Configuration Manager) or CMC (Central Management Console) to verify the integrity of the repository.
  If corruption is suspected, restore from a backup or run repair utilities if available.
  
  
  
  Re-import or Recreate Service Definitions:
  
  If the service definition (ServDef) is corrupted, try to re-import or recreate it.
  This might involve re-deploying the WebI services or reapplying patches.
  
  
  
  Check Logs for More Details:
  
  Review the WebI Processing Server logs and CMS logs for more detailed error messages.
  Logs can provide clues about which field (&2) and values (&3 vs &4) are causing the mismatch.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WEBI_CHECKS001.
  Apply any recommended patches or fixes.
  If the problem persists, open a support ticket with SAP, providing logs and environment details.
