• Message text: Update mode changed for queued delta -> Note long text

What causes this issue?

You have changed the update mode to "Delta Queued".

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You need to schedule a periodic job with the function "Job Control"
from the logistics extraction cockpit. This job regularly transfers the
data from the queue for application &V1& into the BW delta queue for
the respective DataSource. This job needs to run <ZH>hourly</>.
<ZH>Important</>:
Before transporting the customizing requests for changing the update
mode in other systems, you <ZH>must</> check to see if all V3 update
entries in this system for the function module MCEX_UPDATE_&V1&* have
the status "OK" or "Update Executed". It is possible to check the
target system in the update overview (transaction SM13).
Otherwise, the old delta information is no longer automatically
transferred into the BW system after changing the update mode.
