How To Fix DAAG_DESIGNTIME036 - The data in the partitioning object is less than the threshold value

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DAAG_DESIGNTIME - Message Class for Data Aging Design Time

• Message number: 036

• Message text: The data in the partitioning object is less than the threshold value

What causes this issue?

The data in the table associated to the partitioning object is less than
the threshold value. If the threshold value is not defined for the
partitioning object the default value set for the threshold is 300
million.

System Response

Partition ranges cannot be created.

How to fix this error?

Ensure that the data in the table associated to the partitioning object
is more than the threshold value.

Procedure for System Administrators

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DAAG_DESIGNTIME036 - The data in the partitioning object is less than the threshold value ?

  The SAP error message DAAG_DESIGNTIME036 indicates that the data in a partitioning object is less than the threshold value set for that object. This typically occurs in the context of data partitioning in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA, where data is divided into segments or partitions for better performance and management.
  Cause:
  
  Threshold Value: The error is triggered when the amount of data in a specific partition falls below a predefined threshold. This threshold is set to ensure that partitions are meaningful and contain enough data for efficient processing.
  Data Volume: If the data volume in the partition is low, it may not meet the minimum requirements for processing or analysis.
  Partitioning Strategy: The partitioning strategy may not be optimal for the current data distribution, leading to some partitions being underutilized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Threshold Settings: Check the threshold settings for the partitioning object. You may need to adjust the threshold value to a lower level if the current setting is too high for the amount of data you have.
  Data Load: Ensure that more data is loaded into the partition. If the partition is meant to hold more data, consider loading additional data to meet the threshold.
  Repartitioning: If the data distribution has changed significantly, consider repartitioning the data. This may involve changing the partitioning key or strategy to better align with the current data volume.
  Data Cleanup: If there are partitions with very little data that are not needed, consider cleaning up or merging those partitions to optimize the data model.
  Monitoring and Alerts: Set up monitoring and alerts for partition sizes to proactively manage data volumes and avoid hitting threshold issues in the future.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to partitioning and performance issues for specific guidance and updates.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP BW or SAP HANA documentation for best practices on data partitioning and management.
  Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning strategies for your data model to ensure efficient data processing and analysis.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW/HANA administrator for further investigation and support.
