• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE206 - Filter on non-key field; delete and archive operations are not filtered ?

  The SAP error message CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE206 typically occurs in the context of data replication or data migration processes, particularly when using the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) Replication Server or similar tools. This error indicates that there is a filter applied on a non-key field, which can lead to issues during delete and archive operations.
  Cause:
  
  Filter on Non-Key Field: The error arises when a filter is set on a non-key field in the replication configuration. In SLT, filters are used to determine which records should be replicated. However, if the filter is applied to a field that is not part of the primary key, it can cause inconsistencies during delete or archive operations.
  Data Integrity Issues: When a delete or archive operation is performed, the system may not be able to correctly identify which records to delete or archive if the filter is not based on key fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Replication Configuration: Check the replication configuration in the SLT system. Ensure that filters are only applied to key fields. If there are filters on non-key fields, consider removing or modifying them.
  Adjust Filters: If filtering is necessary, try to adjust the filters to include only key fields or ensure that the logic of the filter does not interfere with delete or archive operations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for SLT or the specific data replication tool you are using to understand the best practices for setting up filters.
  Testing: After making changes to the filters, perform tests to ensure that the replication and delete/archive operations work as expected without triggering the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling filters in SLT.
  SLT Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for SLT, which provides detailed information on configuration, filtering, and best practices.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By addressing the filter configuration and ensuring that it aligns with the requirements for delete and archive operations, you should be able to resolve the CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE206 error.
