• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS108 - Consistency of Service Definitions (Table Type) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WEBI_CHECKS108: Consistency of Service Definitions (Table 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 data provider or universe connection, specifically concerning the table type definitions.
  More precisely, the error indicates that the expected table type in the service definition does not match the actual table type defined or used in the query or universe. This can happen due to:
  
  Changes in the universe or data source schema that are not reflected in the service definitions.
  Corruption or misconfiguration in the WebI document or the underlying universe.
  Mismatched or outdated service definitions after upgrades or patches.
  Inconsistent metadata between the WebI report and the data provider.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WEBI_CHECKS108 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Universe and Data Source Consistency:
  
  Verify that the universe or data source schema has not changed.
  If changes were made, update the universe and ensure the WebI document is refreshed accordingly.
  
  
  
  Refresh the WebI Document:
  
  Open the WebI report in the Web Intelligence Rich Client or BI Launchpad.
  Refresh the data provider to ensure the latest metadata is loaded.
  If necessary, recreate the query or data provider to align with the current universe.
  
  
  
  Check Service Definitions:
  
  In the CMC (Central Management Console), verify the service definitions related to WebI and the data providers.
  Ensure that the service definitions are consistent and correctly configured.
  If you have custom service definitions or extensions, validate their configurations.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache and Restart Services:
  
  Clear the WebI processing cache.
  Restart the SAP BusinessObjects services (especially the Web Intelligence Processing Server).
  
  
  
  Check for Patches or Updates:
  
  Look for SAP Notes or patches related to WebI and service definition consistency.
  Apply any relevant patches or updates to your SAP BusinessObjects platform.
  
  
  
  Recreate the WebI Document:
  
  If the problem persists, try creating a new WebI document with the same query to check if the issue is document-specific.
