• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICA02088 - Empty data is loaded. ?

  The SAP error message ICA02088, which states "Empty data is loaded," typically occurs in the context of data loading processes, particularly when using SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error indicates that the data load process has completed, but no data records were found or loaded into the target data structure (e.g., InfoProvider, DataStore Object, etc.).
  Causes:
  
  Source Data Issues: The source system may not have any data that meets the selection criteria defined in the data extraction process.
  Transformation Errors: There may be issues in the transformation logic that filter out all records, resulting in no data being passed to the target.
  Data Selection Criteria: The selection criteria in the data extraction process may be too restrictive, leading to an empty dataset.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source may not be properly configured or may not be connected to the correct source system.
  Data Load Process: The data load process may have been interrupted or not executed correctly, leading to no data being loaded.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Source Data: Verify that there is data available in the source system that meets the criteria for extraction. You can do this by running queries or reports directly in the source system.
  Review Transformation Logic: Examine the transformation rules to ensure that they are correctly set up and not filtering out all records unintentionally.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: If the selection criteria are too restrictive, consider modifying them to allow for a broader range of data to be extracted.
  Validate Data Source Configuration: Ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that the connection to the source system is active and functioning.
  Monitor Data Load Process: Check the logs of the data load process for any warnings or errors that might indicate why no data was loaded. Ensure that the process was completed successfully.
  Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the data load process with a smaller dataset or different parameters to see if data is loaded successfully.
