• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK078 - Imported delta DTP has overlapping selections with DTP &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSBK078 indicates that there is an issue with overlapping selections in a Data Transfer Process (DTP) when importing delta data. This typically occurs when the delta DTP is trying to load data that overlaps with the data already loaded by another DTP process. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Selections: The delta DTP is configured to extract data that overlaps with the data already loaded by another DTP. This can happen if the selection criteria (e.g., date ranges, key figures) for the delta DTP are not distinct from those of the existing DTP.
  Incorrect Delta Management: If the delta mechanism is not set up correctly, it may lead to attempts to load the same data multiple times.
  Data Consistency Issues: If the data in the source system has changed or if there are inconsistencies in the data extraction logic, it can lead to overlaps.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review DTP Selections: Check the selection criteria of both the delta DTP and the DTP that has already loaded data. Ensure that they do not overlap. Adjust the selection criteria as necessary to avoid conflicts.
  Adjust Delta Logic: If the delta logic is not correctly defined, you may need to redefine it. Ensure that the delta mechanism is set up to only capture new or changed records.
  Check for Active DTPs: Ensure that no other DTPs are running that might be causing the overlap. If necessary, stop other DTPs before running the delta DTP.
  Data Consistency Check: Verify the data in the source system to ensure that it is consistent and that there are no duplicate records that could cause overlaps.
  Use Full Load: If the issue persists and cannot be resolved, consider performing a full load instead of a delta load. This will ensure that all data is loaded without overlaps, but it may be less efficient.
  
  Related Information:
  
  DTP Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the DTP configuration settings in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW. Understanding how to set up and manage DTPs is crucial for avoiding such errors.
  Delta Mechanism: Review the delta mechanism used in your data source (e.g., InfoSource, DataSource) to ensure it is functioning correctly.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling DTP issues.
  Monitoring and Logs: Utilize the SAP BW monitoring tools to check logs and error messages related to DTPs for more context on the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the RSBK078 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
