What causes this issue?

which delta determination is allowed when writing.
The structure of the InfoCube has changed too, meaning that the write
program and the staging table must be generated again before writing.
As no COMMITS are allowed in the update table, it is not possible to
generate the staging table.

Use module RSDD_INFOCUBE_WRITEPROG_GEN to generate the InfoCube write
program and the staging table outside the update task. This module only
