• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RD183 - DataSource &1 was successfully converted to generic delta ?

  The SAP error message RD183 indicates that a DataSource has been successfully converted to a generic delta. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that indicates a change in the way data is being extracted from the source system.
  Cause:
  The conversion to a generic delta typically occurs when:
  
  The original DataSource was not able to support delta extraction due to limitations in the source system or the structure of the DataSource.
  The DataSource has been modified or updated to allow for generic delta extraction, which is a method that allows for more flexible data extraction by capturing changes in the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the DataSource Configuration: Check the configuration of the DataSource in the SAP system to ensure that it is set up correctly for generic delta extraction. This includes verifying the extraction method and ensuring that the necessary fields are included.
  
  
  Check for Delta Capabilities: If you require specific delta capabilities, ensure that the DataSource is designed to support them. If it is not, you may need to create a new DataSource or modify the existing one.
  
  
  Monitor Data Extraction: After the conversion, monitor the data extraction process to ensure that it is functioning as expected. Check for any discrepancies in the data being extracted.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding delta extraction.
  
  
  Testing: Conduct thorough testing to ensure that the data being extracted meets your requirements and that the conversion to generic delta has not introduced any issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Generic Delta: This method captures changes in the data by using timestamps or other mechanisms to identify new or changed records since the last extraction.
  DataSource: A DataSource in SAP is a structure that defines how data is extracted from a source system for use in SAP BW or other applications.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific DataSource you are working with.
