SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSAOLTP - Notifications in OLTP Source Environment

• Message number: 610

• Message text: DataSource Can Only Be Loaded in Delta Mode

What causes this issue?

You have tried to load data in either the 'Initializing the Delta
Process' update mode or in the 'Full Update' update mode.

System Response

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?

For this DataSource, data can be loaded only in the delta mode. For the
the initialization, run an 'Initialization without Data Transfer'.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAOLTP610 - DataSource Can Only Be Loaded in Delta Mode ?

  The SAP error message RSAOLTP610 indicates that a specific DataSource can only be loaded in delta mode. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform a full load on a DataSource that is configured to support only delta loads. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource is set up to only allow delta loads. This is common for certain types of DataSources, especially those that are designed to capture changes rather than full data sets.
  Incorrect Load Type: You may be trying to execute a full load (initial load) instead of a delta load, which is not permitted for that particular DataSource.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Use Delta Load: If the DataSource is configured for delta loads only, you need to perform a delta load instead of a full load. Ensure that you have the necessary delta mechanism in place (e.g., delta queue, change log).
  
  
  Check DataSource Settings: 
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Check the properties of the DataSource to confirm that it is indeed set to allow only delta loads.
  If you need to perform a full load for some reason, you may need to change the configuration of the DataSource, but this should be done with caution and typically requires a good understanding of the implications.
  
  
  
  Initial Load for Delta-enabled DataSources: If you are working with a DataSource that has never been loaded before, you may need to perform an initial load using a specific method (like a full load from the source system) that is compatible with delta-enabled DataSources.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific DataSource to understand its loading capabilities and any prerequisites for performing delta loads.
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Delta Mechanism: Understand how the delta mechanism works in SAP BW. Delta loads typically rely on change logs or delta queues to capture changes since the last load.
  DataSource Types: Familiarize yourself with different types of DataSources in SAP BW (e.g., standard, generic, and SAP-provided DataSources) and their loading capabilities.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding the specific DataSource you are working with.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSO2 (DataSource Maintenance) to manage and troubleshoot DataSources.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSAOLTP610 error and successfully load data using the appropriate method for your DataSource.
