  SAP Error Message:
  
  WEBI_CHECKS107 Consistency of Service Definitions (Structure Type)
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when there is an inconsistency or mismatch in the service definitions related to the structure type of a WebI document or its associated universe/data source. Specifically, it indicates that the structure type defined in the service metadata does not match the expected or required structure type, leading to a failure in processing or refreshing the report.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Corruption or inconsistency in the WebI document's metadata.
  Mismatched or outdated service definitions after system upgrades or patches.
  Incompatibility between the WebI document and the underlying universe or data source.
  Issues during migration or transport of WebI documents between environments.
  Problems with the WebI processing server or CMS repository metadata.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WEBI_CHECKS107 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check WebI Document Consistency:
  
  Open the WebI document in the Web Intelligence Rich Client or Web interface.
  Attempt to refresh or re-run the query to see if the error persists.
  If the document is corrupted, try to recreate the report or restore from a backup.
  
  
  
  Verify Universe and Data Source:
  
  Ensure that the universe or data source used by the WebI document is consistent and properly published.
  Check if any recent changes were made to the universe structure or connections that might cause incompatibility.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache and Restart Services:
  
  Clear the WebI processing server cache.
  Restart the WebI Processing Server and related services (CMS, Adaptive Processing Server).
  Sometimes stale metadata in cache causes such inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check for Patch or Version Mismatch:
  
  Verify that the SAP BusinessObjects platform and WebI components are at compatible patch levels.
  Apply any relevant SAP Notes or patches that address known issues with service definitions.
  
  
  
  Re-import or Re-publish the Universe:
  
  If the universe has been modified or migrated, re-import or re-publish it to ensure metadata consistency.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Support Tools:
  
  Use the Query Builder or CMS Database queries to check the metadata consistency.
  Run diagnostic tools or logs to identify metadata inconsistencies.
