How To Fix RS_ADSO_MODEL210 - Ext. storage cannot be used because of long boundary of partition '&1'

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RS_ADSO_MODEL - Messages related to the Datastore Object Backend

• Message number: 210

• Message text: Ext. storage cannot be used because of long boundary of partition '&1'

What causes this issue?

The 'SAP Hana Dynamic Tiering' feature can only be used if
the length of the low value of each 'EQUAL' partition does NOT exceed 61
characters<(>,<)> and
the sum of the lengths of the low and high value of each 'BETWEEN'
partition does not exceed 60 characters
Because of backward-compatibility<(>,<)> it is possible to use
partitions with values of boundaries up to length 68, but the 'SAP Hana
Dynamic Tiering' feature must then be switched off.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL210 - Ext. storage cannot be used because of long boundary of partition '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL210 indicates that there is an issue with the external storage configuration of an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA. Specifically, the error message states that external storage cannot be used due to a long boundary of a partition.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when the partitioning of the ADSO is not aligned with the requirements for external storage. This can happen due to:
  
  Long Partition Boundaries: The partition boundaries defined for the ADSO are too long, which can prevent the system from effectively managing the data in external storage.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the ADSO settings, particularly related to how partitions are defined and how external storage is set up.
  Data Volume: If the volume of data exceeds the limits set for external storage, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_ADSO_MODEL210 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Partitioning:
  
  Check the partitioning settings of the ADSO. Ensure that the partition boundaries are appropriately defined and not excessively long.
  Consider adjusting the partitioning strategy to create smaller, more manageable partitions.
  
  
  
  Adjust External Storage Settings:
  
  Verify the configuration for external storage. Ensure that it is set up correctly and that the system can handle the defined partitions.
  If necessary, modify the external storage settings to accommodate the data volume and partitioning scheme.
  
  
  
  Data Management:
  
  If the data volume is too large, consider archiving or deleting unnecessary data to reduce the load on the ADSO.
  Ensure that the data being loaded into the ADSO is within the limits for external storage.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for Advanced DataStore Objects and external storage configurations for specific guidelines and best practices.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
