• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBW_E205 - Delta-init for &1 has not been completed, no delta-update is allowed. ?

  The SAP error message FKKBW_E205 indicates that a delta initialization for a specific InfoSource (denoted by &1) has not been completed. As a result, no delta updates are allowed for that InfoSource. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with data extraction from source systems.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Delta Initialization: The delta initialization process for the InfoSource has not been successfully completed. This can happen if the initialization was interrupted or if there were issues during the process.
  Missing Data: The required data for the delta initialization may not have been loaded or may be missing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the InfoSource or the data source that prevent the delta initialization from completing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Delta Initialization Status:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the InfoSource in question and check the status of the delta initialization.
  
  
  
  Re-run Delta Initialization:
  
  If the delta initialization has not been completed, you will need to re-run it. This can typically be done by:
  
  Going to the relevant DataSource in the source system.
  Executing the delta initialization process again.
  
  
  Ensure that the process completes successfully without any errors.
  
  
  
  Monitor for Errors:
  
  Check the logs for any errors that may have occurred during the delta initialization. This can provide insights into what went wrong.
  Use transaction codes like SM37 to check job logs or SLG1 for application logs.
  
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the DataSource is correctly configured for delta extraction. This includes checking the settings in the source system and ensuring that the necessary fields are mapped correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
