• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BWFS_TECHNICAL007 - Delta procedure with InfoSource &1 and selection &2: No position initial. ?

  The SAP error message BWFS_TECHNICAL007 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the delta extraction process for a specific InfoSource. The message indicates that there is no initial position available for the delta procedure, which can prevent the successful extraction of data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Initialization: The delta process requires an initial load to be performed before it can start capturing changes. If the initial load has not been executed, the delta procedure will not have a starting point.
  Data Source Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the data source or InfoSource, leading to the inability to determine the initial position.
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the data source has been modified, it may lead to this error.
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues with the underlying database or the extraction process itself.
  
  Solution:
  
  Perform Initial Load: Ensure that an initial load has been executed for the InfoSource in question. This is typically done through the Data Warehousing Workbench or the relevant transaction codes.
  Check Data Source Settings: Review the settings of the data source and InfoSource to ensure they are correctly configured for delta extraction.
  Monitor Data Consistency: Check for any inconsistencies in the data that might affect the delta extraction. This may involve reviewing logs or data records.
  Reinitialize Delta: If necessary, you may need to reinitialize the delta process. This can involve deleting the delta queue and performing a new initial load.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoSource and delta extraction processes for any additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor and manage InfoSources and data flows.
  SAP Notes: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error.
  Logs and Traces: Review the logs and traces for the data extraction process to identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation and support.
