• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABT_BW064 - Retroactive BW transformation run can only be executed in delta mode ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABT_BW064 indicates that a retroactive BW transformation run can only be executed in delta mode. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a transformation that is intended to process data retroactively but is not set up correctly for that purpose.
  Cause:
  
  Transformation Mode: The transformation you are trying to execute is configured to run in a mode that does not support retroactive processing. Retroactive processing usually requires the transformation to be executed in delta mode.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source from which you are trying to extract data may not be set up to allow for retroactive data extraction.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings in the InfoPackage or the transformation may not be correctly configured to allow for retroactive processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transformation Settings: 
  
  Go to the transformation in the SAP BW system and ensure that it is set to allow for delta processing. This can usually be found in the transformation settings under the "General" tab.
  
  
  
  Use Delta Mode: 
  
  When executing the transformation, ensure that you are selecting the delta mode. This is typically done in the InfoPackage settings or when you are executing the data load.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source: 
  
  Check the data source configuration to ensure it supports delta extraction. If it is a non-delta data source, you may need to adjust your approach or use a different data source that supports delta.
  
  
  
  Check InfoPackage Settings: 
  
  Ensure that the InfoPackage associated with the transformation is set to run in delta mode. You can do this by checking the InfoPackage settings in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transformation and data source you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for retroactive processing.
