How To Fix RSBK068 - You may not define versions for the error stack; empty it first

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSBK - Messages for the Data Transfer Process

• Message number: 068

• Message text: You may not define versions for the error stack; empty it first

What causes this issue?

An incompatible change was made to the source of the data transfer
process (DTP) and the error stack for the DTP contains data. Versions
therefore need to be defined for the error stack. However, this is not
permitted because any existing requests in the error stack are not
included when filtering new records with the same key.

System Response

The DTP cannot be activated.

How to fix this error?

Empty the error stack from before the incompatible change. You have two
options:
Delete the requests that resulted in records containing errors.
Update the data for the error stack with an error DTP.
<ZH>Note</> however, that any errors that still exist may be updated
back into the error stack.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK068 - You may not define versions for the error stack; empty it first ?

  The SAP error message RSBK068 indicates that you are trying to define versions for an error stack in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system, but the error stack is not empty. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create or modify versions for a data source or InfoProvider that has existing errors in its error stack.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the error stack associated with the data source or InfoProvider contains entries. In SAP BW, an error stack is a collection of records that could not be processed correctly during data loading or transformation. Before you can define versions for the data source or InfoProvider, you need to ensure that the error stack is cleared.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSBK068 error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Error Stack:
  
  Go to the transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Navigate to the relevant InfoProvider or data source.
  Check the error stack to see the entries that are causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Clear the Error Stack:
  
  You can clear the error stack by either correcting the errors or deleting the erroneous entries.
  If you want to delete the entries, you can use the transaction code RSAR (for data sources) or RSMO (for InfoProviders) to manage the error records.
  In the error stack, you can select the entries and choose to delete them or process them as needed.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Version Definition:
  
  Once the error stack is empty, you can go back to the version definition and attempt to define the versions again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Monitoring Data Loads: Regularly monitor data loads and transformations to catch errors early and manage the error stack effectively.
  Error Handling: Implement proper error handling and logging mechanisms in your ETL processes to minimize the occurrence of errors.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for more details on managing error stacks and data sources in BW.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSBK068 error and successfully define versions for your data source or InfoProvider.
