How To Fix RSDA154 - '&1' assigned as a semantic partitioning characteristic

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDA - BW Archiving: Messages

• Message number: 154

• Message text: '&1' assigned as a semantic partitioning characteristic

What causes this issue?

The 'Allow Duplicate Data Records' setting has been set for InfoProvider
&v2&.
In a request-based selection schema, a semantic partitioning
characteristic must only be assigned if the InfoProvider is a
write-optimized DataStore object with a unique semantic key.
In all other cases, a semantic partitioning characteristic cannot be
assigned for a request-based selection schema.
Technical partitioning is always performed with the request ID for a
request-based selection schema.

System Response

The data archiving process is inconsistent.

How to fix this error?

Please reactivate the data archiving process. The partitioning
characteristic will then be reset by the system.

Procedure for System Administrators

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 RSDA154 - '&1' assigned as a semantic partitioning characteristic ?

  The SAP error message RSDA154 indicates that a characteristic (in this case, represented by &1) has been assigned as a semantic partitioning characteristic in a DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider, but there is an issue with its configuration or usage.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  A characteristic that is not suitable for semantic partitioning is being used.
  There is a mismatch in the configuration of the characteristic in the DSO or InfoProvider.
  The characteristic is not properly defined in the underlying data model or is not compatible with the semantic partitioning rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDA154 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the configuration of the characteristic that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined and is suitable for semantic partitioning.
  
  
  
  Review Semantic Partitioning Settings:
  
  Verify the settings for semantic partitioning in the DSO or InfoProvider. Make sure that the characteristic is intended to be used for this purpose.
  If the characteristic should not be a semantic partitioning characteristic, remove it from the configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Model:
  
  If the characteristic is part of a composite key or is used in other InfoProviders, ensure that it is consistently defined across all relevant objects.
  Check for any dependencies or relationships that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the DSO or InfoProvider:
  
  After making the necessary changes, re-activate the DSO or InfoProvider to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to semantic partitioning and characteristics for additional guidance and best practices.

  Semantic Partitioning: This is a feature in SAP BW that allows for the logical separation of data within a DSO or InfoProvider based on certain characteristics. It can improve performance and manageability of large datasets.
  DataStore Objects (DSOs): These are used in SAP BW to store data at a detailed level and can be configured for various purposes, including reporting and data transformation.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to RSDA154 or semantic partitioning.
