• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/DSY_DS098 - Dataset cannot be created for table &1 which has delivery class &2 ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/DSY_DS098 indicates that a dataset cannot be created for a specific table due to its delivery class. This error typically arises in the context of Data Store Objects (DSOs) or when working with the Data Warehousing Workbench in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the delivery class of the table specified in the message. The delivery class determines how the data in the table is managed and whether it can be modified or not. The delivery classes are defined in the Data Dictionary and can restrict the creation of datasets based on the following:
  
  Delivery Class A: Application table, data can be modified.
  Delivery Class B: Table is not intended for modification.
  Delivery Class C: Table is for master data, and data can be modified.
  Delivery Class D: Table is for system data, and data cannot be modified.
  
  If the table has a delivery class that does not allow for the creation of datasets (e.g., class B or D), you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Delivery Class: Review the delivery class of the table in question. You can do this by navigating to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the properties of the table.
  
  
  Change the Delivery Class: If appropriate, you may change the delivery class of the table to a class that allows dataset creation (e.g., class A or C). However, this should be done with caution and typically requires a thorough understanding of the implications, as it may affect the integrity and behavior of the application.
  
  
  Use a Different Table: If changing the delivery class is not feasible or appropriate, consider using a different table that has a suitable delivery class for your dataset creation needs.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or BW team to understand the implications of changing delivery classes and to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  Check for System Notes: Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches that address specific issues. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes related to this error.
