What causes this issue?

The delta mode was set for the selected index. In this case, after the

the data is written to a delta index. In this way, the write processes
are to some degree considerably shortened, but the read access times are
increased. The read times get worse the larger the delta index.

Combine the delta indexes with your main index regularly in a separate
process. To do this, schedule the process or the program "R
SDDTREX_DELTAINDEX_MERGE" .

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSD_TREX213 - Index for table '&1' set to delta mode ?

  The SAP error message RSD_TREX213 indicates that the index for a specific table has been set to delta mode. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and is related to the indexing of InfoProviders, particularly when using the TREX search engine for full-text search capabilities.
  
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system detects that the index for a particular InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or DataStore Object) is in delta mode. Delta mode is used to handle incremental data loads, meaning that only changes (new or modified records) are indexed rather than the entire dataset. This can happen due to:
  
  Incomplete Indexing: The initial indexing process may not have been completed successfully.
  Data Load Issues: There may have been issues during the data load process that caused the index to be set to delta mode.
  Configuration Settings: The InfoProvider may have been configured to operate in delta mode for performance
