• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HSM_FILL009 - Selection criteria will be ignored; delta filling is selected ?

  The SAP error message HSM_FILL009 indicates that the selection criteria you have specified for a data extraction or filling process are being ignored because the system is set to perform a delta fill operation. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's data management and extraction processes, particularly when dealing with data archiving or data aging.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to specify selection criteria (like date ranges, specific objects, etc.) for a data extraction process.
  The system is configured to perform a delta fill, which is designed to only process changes or new entries since the last extraction, rather than the entire dataset.
  Delta filling inherently does not consider the selection criteria you provided, as it focuses on incremental changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following options:
  
  
  Check Delta Settings: Verify if the delta filling option is indeed necessary for your use case. If you need to apply specific selection criteria, you may need to switch from delta filling to a full data extraction.
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria: If you want to continue with delta filling, you may need to adjust your expectations regarding the selection criteria. Understand that they will not be applied in this mode.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the delta filling should allow for selection criteria, review the configuration settings in your SAP system. There may be options to customize how delta filling operates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Data Archiving, SAP BW, etc.) for more detailed guidance on delta filling and selection criteria.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for help with your specific scenario.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Delta Fill: This is a process that captures only the changes made to the data since the last extraction, which is useful for performance and efficiency.
  Data Archiving: In SAP, data archiving is a process to remove data from the database to improve performance and manage data growth.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or enhancements related to delta filling and selection criteria.
  
  By understanding the context of the error and the implications of delta filling, you can make informed decisions on how to proceed with your data extraction or management tasks in SAP.
