• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_RD164 - Delta records found in full upload run ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_RD164 indicates that delta records were found during a full upload run. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction processes, particularly when using SAP Data Services or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) for data loading.
  Cause:
  
  
  Delta Records Present: The error suggests that there are delta records (i.e., records that have changed since the last data load) present in the source system while a full upload is being executed. This can happen if the data extraction process is not properly synchronized or if there are ongoing changes in the source data during the full load.
  
  
  Timing Issues: If the full upload is initiated while delta loads are still being processed, it can lead to inconsistencies and the presence of delta records.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the data extraction settings that do not properly handle delta records during a full upload.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Load Process: Ensure that no delta loads are being executed while a full upload is in progress. It may be necessary to schedule the full upload during a maintenance window when no changes are expected in the source data.
  
  
  Review Extraction Settings: Verify the settings in the data extraction process to ensure that it is configured to handle delta records appropriately. This may involve adjusting the settings in the DataSource or the InfoPackage in SAP BW.
  
  
  Re-run the Full Upload: After ensuring that no delta records are present, re-run the full upload process. Make sure to monitor the process to confirm that it completes without errors.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource or extraction method you are using. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling full uploads and delta records.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data load processes to catch and manage such issues in the future. This may include logging, alerts, or automated retries.
  
  
  Related Information:
