• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA335 - Checked area contains &2 data records; reload is not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSDA335 indicates that a data load operation cannot be performed because the checked area contains a certain number of data records (denoted by &2). This typically occurs in the context of Data Warehousing, particularly when working with DataStore Objects (DSOs) or InfoProviders in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Existing Data Records: The target DataStore Object (DSO) already contains data records, and the system is configured to prevent reloading data into an area that already has existing records.
  Data Consistency: The system is designed to maintain data integrity and consistency, which means it will not allow a reload if there are already records present that could conflict with the new data being loaded.
  Incorrect Load Settings: The settings for the data load process may not be configured correctly, leading to this error when attempting to reload data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDA335 error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Delete Existing Data: If it is acceptable to remove the existing data, you can delete the records from the target DSO before attempting the reload. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench or by using a data deletion process.
  
  
  Change Load Settings: Review the settings of the data load process. Ensure that the load type is set correctly (e.g., full load vs. delta load) and that it aligns with your data loading strategy.
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency: Ensure that the data you are trying to load does not conflict with the existing records. If there are unique constraints or keys, make sure the new data adheres to these constraints.
  
  
  Use a Different Target: If the existing data is necessary and cannot be deleted, consider loading the new data into a different DSO or InfoProvider.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using, as there may be version-specific considerations or patches that address this issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage your data loads and check the status of your InfoProviders.
  Monitoring: Use transaction RSMO to monitor data loads and check for any errors or warnings that may provide additional context.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or fixes related to this error message. You can search for RSDA335 in the SAP Support Portal.
