• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IAM/OBJECT_INT124 - Delta extraction mode (change pointer based) ?

  The SAP error message /IAM/OBJECT_INT124 typically relates to issues encountered during delta extraction in the context of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or other data extraction scenarios. This error specifically indicates a problem with the delta extraction mode that relies on change pointers.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Change Pointer Configuration: Change pointers may not be correctly configured for the relevant data objects. If change pointers are not activated for the specific object, the delta extraction will fail.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the delta extraction from processing correctly.
  
  
  Missing Change Pointers: If there are no change pointers available for the data being extracted, the delta extraction will not have any data to process.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or process attempting the extraction may not have the necessary authorizations to read the change pointers.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or the extraction process itself.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the /IAM/OBJECT_INT124 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Change Pointer Activation:
  
  Ensure that change pointers are activated for the relevant data objects in the system. This can typically be done in the transaction code SCDO (Change Document Objects).
  
  
  
  Verify Data Consistency:
  
  Check the data in the source system for any inconsistencies or errors that might be causing the extraction to fail.
  
  
  
  Review Change Pointer Status:
  
  Use transaction SCDO to review the status of change pointers. Ensure that there are change pointers available for the data you are trying to extract.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user or process has the necessary authorizations to access the change pointers and perform the extraction.
  
  
  
  Monitor Logs:
  
  Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Change Pointers:
  
  If necessary, you can reprocess change pointers using transaction BD21 to ensure that they are correctly updated.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
