• Message number: 810

• Message text: Aggregate &1: Char &2 has type 'DPA'

What causes this issue?

Problems with activation, transport and content transfer may mean that
characteristics and navigation attributes appear in the modified version
of an aggregate definition (M version) that should not be there. For
example, characteristics from the units and package dimension
(RequestID, ChangeID, ...) and navigation attributes with aggregation
status "%" - these are not automatically included until the aggregate is
activated. They ought to then appear in the A version of the aggregate
(that is, the active version). In aggregate maintenance (transaction
RSDDV), only the M version for an aggregate is displayed.

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 RSDD810 - Aggregate &1: Char &2 has type 'DPA' ?

  The SAP error message RSDD810 indicates an issue related to the characteristics of an aggregate in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, the message states that a characteristic (denoted as &2) in the aggregate (denoted as &1) has a type 'DPA' (DataStore Object with a DataStore Object type).
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the data model, particularly when dealing with aggregates. The characteristic in question is likely defined in a way that is not compatible with the aggregate's structure or the data types expected by the aggregate.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Aggregate Definition:
  
  Go to the aggregate definition in the SAP BW system and verify the characteristics included in the aggregate.
  Ensure that the characteristics are correctly defined and compatible with the data types expected by the aggregate.
  
  
  
  Review Characteristic Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the characteristic that is causing the issue (the one with type 'DPA').
  Ensure that it is correctly defined in the InfoObject settings and that it is compatible with the aggregate.
  
  
  
  Adjust DataStore Object (DSO) Settings:
  
  If the characteristic is part of a DataStore Object, review the DSO settings to ensure that it is correctly configured.
  Make sure that the DSO is activated and that the data is correctly loaded.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Aggregate:
  
  If necessary, you may need to delete and recreate the aggregate to ensure that it reflects the current state of the underlying data model.
  After making changes, always remember to activate the aggregate.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Look for any dependencies or relationships between the characteristic and other objects in the data model that may be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
