• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_CHECK216 - Selection 'COMPL_TAB' is not allowed for incremental transformation ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_CHECK216 indicates that there is an issue with the selection of the 'COMPL_TAB' for an incremental transformation in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically arises when the system detects that the selection criteria used in the transformation are not compatible with the requirements for an incremental load.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Incremental Transformation Restrictions: The 'COMPL_TAB' selection is not allowed for incremental transformations. Incremental loads typically require specific selection criteria that do not include certain types of selections or conditions.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source may not be configured correctly to support incremental loads, or the transformation rules may not align with the data source's capabilities.
  Transformation Logic: The transformation logic may be incorrectly set up, leading to the use of selections that are not valid for incremental processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Transformation Settings:
  
  Check the transformation settings in the SAP BW system. Ensure that the transformation is set up correctly for incremental loads.
  Verify that the selection criteria used in the transformation do not include 'COMPL_TAB' or any other unsupported selections.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  Modify the selection criteria in the transformation to use valid fields and conditions that are compatible with incremental loads. This may involve using fields that are part of the delta mechanism.
  
  
  
  Check Data Source Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the data source is configured to support incremental loads. This includes checking the delta mechanism and ensuring that it is properly set up.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific data source and transformation to understand the limitations and requirements for incremental transformations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transformation to ensure that it runs successfully without errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Incremental Load: In SAP BW, an incremental load refers to the process of loading only the data that has changed since the last load, rather than loading the entire dataset. This is more efficient and reduces the load on the system.
  Transformation Rules: These define how data is transformed from the source to the target. They can include mappings, selections, and calculations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or fixes related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP BW expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
