• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBW253 - Delta extraction is active in the system ?

  The SAP error message FKKBW253 indicates that delta extraction is currently active in the system for a particular data source. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to perform certain operations that are not allowed while delta extraction is ongoing.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to perform a full data load or other operations on a data source that is currently set up for delta extraction.
  The delta extraction process is running, and the system is preventing other operations to ensure data consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FKKBW253 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Delta Extraction Status:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Navigate to the relevant InfoSource or DataSource and check if delta extraction is indeed active.
  
  
  
  Stop Delta Extraction:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can stop the delta extraction process. This can usually be done in the process chain or by using transaction SM37 to monitor and stop any running jobs related to delta extraction.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If stopping the delta extraction is not an option, you may need to wait until the current delta extraction process completes before attempting your operation again.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Sometimes, locks can cause this issue. Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant tables and release them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Process Chains:
  
  If you are using process chains, ensure that the process chain is not set to run in parallel with other processes that might conflict with the delta extraction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to your specific version of SAP BW for any additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Delta Extraction: This is a method used in SAP BW to extract only the changes (delta) from the source system since the last extraction, rather than extracting the entire dataset.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SM37 (Job Monitoring), and SM12 (Lock Entries) for managing and monitoring data extraction processes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that might address issues related to delta extraction.
