Troubleshooting
Problem
User changes the Controller company structure (for example changes an end date for a group in Company structure,). Afterwards, publishing the FAP datamart gives an error. For example, user clicks "Maintain - Company Structure - Define", chooses a subgroup, and clicks "Edit Consolidation Structure - Connected to: Edit". User changes the 'To Period', saves, and then closes the window. This will re-generate structures. Afterwards, there are errors in the FAP-related "retry.log" and "nrtr_log".
