• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS109 - Consistency of Service Definitions (Structure Type) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS109: Consistency of Service Definitions (Structure Type):
  
  Error Message
  WEBI_CHECKS109: 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 the WebI document or its associated universe/data source.
  More specifically:
  
  The structure type defined in the WebI document does not match the expected or configured structure type in the underlying service or universe.
  This can happen if the WebI document was created or modified with a different version or configuration of the universe or data source.
  It may also occur after upgrades, patches, or changes in the BusinessObjects environment where service definitions or metadata structures have changed but the WebI document still references old or incompatible definitions.
  Corruption or inconsistency in the repository or metadata cache can also cause this error.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WEBI_CHECKS109 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Universe and Data Source Consistency:
  
  Verify that the universe or data source used by the WebI document is consistent and correctly published.
  Ensure that the universe has not been changed or upgraded in a way that breaks compatibility with existing WebI documents.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Refresh the WebI Document:
  
  Try creating a new WebI document using the same universe/data source to see if the error persists.
  If the new document works fine, consider migrating the content from the old document to the new one.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache and Restart Services:
  
  Clear the BusinessObjects cache and restart the CMS and WebI Processing Servers.
  Sometimes cached metadata causes inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check for Patch or Version Compatibility:
  
  Ensure that all components of the SAP BusinessObjects platform (CMS, WebI, Universe Designer, etc.) are on compatible patch levels.
  If there was a recent upgrade, verify that all components were upgraded properly.
  
  
  
  Repair or Re-publish Universe:
  
  Open the universe in Universe Design Tool or Information Design Tool.
  Check for any inconsistencies or errors.
  Re-publish the universe to the repository.
  
  
  
  Check Logs for More Details:
  
  Review the WebI Processing Server logs and CMS logs for more detailed error messages.
  This can provide clues about which service definition or structure type is inconsistent.
