SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSCV - Analysis of BW objects (InfoCubes...)

• Message number: 360

• Message text: PSA table &1 is not partitioned in database

What causes this issue?

PSA tables are created in BW systems under ORACLE partitioned in the
database. The tables are 'RANGE partitioned' by the field 'PARTNO'. If
a table contains the field 'PARNO' but is not partitioned, errors occur
when writing to the PSA tables.

System Response

How to fix this error?

If the table is empty, the PSA table affected can be deleted from the
SAP DataDictionary. When the transfer structure is activated, the table
is then partitioned when it is created.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCV360 - PSA table &1 is not partitioned in database ?

  The SAP error message RSCV360 indicates that the Persistent Staging Area (PSA) table specified is not partitioned in the database. This error typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Partitioned Table: The PSA table is expected to be partitioned for performance reasons, especially when dealing with large volumes of data. If the table is not partitioned, it can lead to performance issues and inefficiencies during data processing.
  Configuration Issues: The table may not have been set up correctly during the data model configuration, or the partitioning settings may not have been applied.
  Database Settings: The underlying database may not support partitioning, or the necessary configurations for partitioning may not have been implemented.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the configuration of the PSA table.
  Ensure that the table is set up to be partitioned. You may need to adjust the settings in the InfoSource or DataSource.
  
  
  
  Create Partitions:
  
  If the table is not partitioned, you may need to create partitions manually. This can typically be done through the database management tools or SQL commands, depending on the database you are using (e.g., HANA, Oracle, SQL Server).
  For HANA, you can use SQL commands to create partitions based on your data model requirements.
  
  
  
  Re-Load Data:
  
  After making the necessary changes, you may need to re-load the data into the PSA table to ensure that it is populated correctly and that the partitioning is applied.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation for specific instructions on partitioning tables in your version of SAP BW or BW/4HANA. This can provide guidance on best practices and any specific requirements for your database.
  
  
  
  Database Administration:
  
  If you are unsure about how to partition the table or if you encounter issues, consult your database administrator. They can provide assistance with the database-specific commands and configurations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on partitioning PSA tables.
  Performance Considerations: Understand the performance implications of partitioning and how it can improve data processing times in SAP BW.
  Database Documentation: Review the documentation for your specific database system to understand how partitioning works and the best practices for implementation.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSCV360 error and ensure that your PSA tables are properly partitioned for optimal performance.
