• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA767 - DAP allows stragglers. Record count check disabled. ?

  The SAP error message RSDA767 indicates that the Data Acquisition Process (DAP) is allowing stragglers, and the record count check has been disabled. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction processes, particularly when using SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Stragglers: Stragglers refer to records that are processed slower than others, which can lead to delays in data loading or extraction. This can happen due to various reasons, such as network latency, database performance issues, or inefficient queries.
  Record Count Check Disabled: The record count check is a mechanism that ensures the expected number of records is processed. If this check is disabled, it may be due to configuration settings or specific requirements of the data extraction process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enable Record Count Check: If the record count check is disabled and you want to enable it, you can do so in the DAP settings. This will help ensure that the expected number of records is processed and can help identify issues with stragglers.
  Optimize Data Extraction: Review the data extraction process to identify any bottlenecks. This may involve:
  
  Analyzing the performance of the underlying database.
  Optimizing queries to reduce execution time.
  Ensuring that the network connection is stable and fast.
  
  
  Monitor and Tune Performance: Use monitoring tools to track the performance of the data extraction process. Look for patterns or specific times when stragglers occur and adjust the process accordingly.
  Adjust DAP Settings: Depending on your specific requirements, you may need to adjust the DAP settings to better handle stragglers. This could involve changing timeout settings, increasing resource allocation, or modifying how data is batched during extraction.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling stragglers in DAP.
  Documentation: Review the SAP BW or SAP HANA documentation for best practices on data extraction and performance tuning.
  Community Forums: Engage with the SAP community forums or support channels to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have implemented.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes of stragglers and ensuring that the record count check is appropriately configured, you can improve the reliability and performance of your data extraction processes in SAP.
