• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD731 - Aggregate &1: Partition &2 is empty --> partition deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSDD731 indicates that a specific partition of an aggregate in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system is empty, leading to its deletion. This message typically arises during the process of managing aggregates in BW, particularly when the system detects that a partition does not contain any data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Empty Partition: The primary cause of this error is that the specified partition of the aggregate does not contain any data. This can happen if:
  
  Data has been deleted from the InfoProvider that the aggregate is based on.
  The data load process did not populate the partition due to selection criteria or other issues.
  The data was archived or removed as part of data management processes.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Load: If the data load process did not execute correctly or if there were issues with the data source, it could lead to an empty partition.
  
  
  Partition Management: The system automatically manages partitions, and if it finds that a partition is empty, it may delete it to optimize performance and storage.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Load: Verify the data load process to ensure that data is being loaded correctly into the InfoProvider. Check for any errors or warnings in the data load logs.
  
  
  Repopulate the Partition: If the partition was deleted due to being empty, you can try to reload the data into the InfoProvider to repopulate the partition. Ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that the data is available.
  
  
  Review Aggregates: If the aggregate is not needed anymore, consider whether it should be deleted or if it can be reconfigured to avoid empty partitions in the future.
  
  
  Monitor Data Management: Implement monitoring for data management processes to ensure that data is not unintentionally deleted or archived, leading to empty partitions.
  
  
  Adjust Partitioning Strategy: If empty partitions are a recurring issue, consider reviewing and adjusting your partitioning strategy to better align with your data load patterns.
