How To Fix RSAU128 - InfoObject 0recordmode is missing from the InfoSource

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSAU - Update rules

• Message number: 128

• Message text: InfoObject 0recordmode is missing from the InfoSource

What causes this issue?

Updating a DataStore object with delta requests necessitates the
transfer of the <DS:DE.RODMUPDMOD>record mode</>, depending on the delta
process for the DataSource. The InfoObject 0RECORDMODE, for example,
passes a deletion indicator from the DataSource to the update.
The InfoObject 0RECORDMODE is not required, providing you do not load
any delta requests into a DataStore object, or only load from
file-DataSources, or from third-party tools.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU128 - InfoObject 0recordmode is missing from the InfoSource ?

  The SAP error message RSAU128 indicates that the InfoObject 0RECORDMODE is missing from the InfoSource. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data extraction process, particularly when working with InfoSources and DataSources.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The InfoObject 0RECORDMODE is not defined in the InfoSource. This InfoObject is often used to determine the mode of record (e.g., whether the record is new, changed, or deleted).
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoSource may not be properly configured to include the 0RECORDMODE InfoObject.
  DataSource Changes: If the underlying DataSource has been modified (e.g., fields added or removed), it may lead to inconsistencies in the InfoSource.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAU128 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoSource in the SAP BW system.
  Verify if the 0RECORDMODE InfoObject is included in the structure of the InfoSource.
  If it is missing, you may need to add it manually.
  
  
  
  Add the InfoObject:
  
  If 0RECORDMODE is not present, you can add it by editing the InfoSource.
  Navigate to the InfoSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Select the InfoSource and choose to edit it.
  Add the 0RECORDMODE InfoObject to the list of fields.
  
  
  
  Check DataSource:
  
  Ensure that the DataSource from which the InfoSource is extracting data is correctly configured and includes the necessary fields.
  If there have been changes to the DataSource, you may need to replicate the DataSource to ensure that the changes are reflected in the InfoSource.
  
  
  
  Activate the InfoSource:
  
  After making changes, make sure to activate the InfoSource to apply the modifications.
  
  
  
  Test the Data Load:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test data load to ensure that the error is resolved and that data is being extracted correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoObject 0RECORDMODE: This InfoObject is typically used in scenarios where the data load needs to track the status of records (e.g., new, changed, deleted).
  Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1): This is the primary tool for managing InfoProviders, InfoSources, and DataSources in SAP BW.
  DataSource Replication: If changes are made to the underlying source system, it may be necessary to replicate the DataSource in SAP BW to ensure that all fields are correctly mapped.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult SAP support or refer to SAP Notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using.
