Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_DTL134 - You can only use filters for transfer type 2 (initial load only) ?

  The SAP error message DMC_DTL134 indicates that you are trying to apply filters in a data transfer process that is not compatible with the transfer type you are using. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to use filters with a transfer type that is not "initial load" (transfer type 2).
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  Filters can only be applied during the initial load of data (transfer type 2).
  If you are using a different transfer type (like delta load or others), the system does not allow the use of filters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transfer Type: Ensure that you are using transfer type 2 (initial load) if you want to apply filters. If you are using a different transfer type, you will need to remove the filters.
  
  
  Adjust Data Transfer Settings:
  
  If you need to perform a delta load or another type of transfer, consider whether filters are necessary for that operation. If they are not, simply remove them.
  If you need to perform an initial load with filters, ensure that you set the transfer type to 2.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific data transfer process you are working with. This can provide additional context on how to properly configure your data transfer.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the data transfer again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:
