• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA108 - No rows updated or inserted ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA108 ("No rows updated or inserted") typically occurs in the context of data loading or data extraction processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This message indicates that an attempt to update or insert data into a data target (like an InfoCube, DataStore Object, or InfoObject) did not result in any changes to the database. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  Data Source Issues: The data source may not contain any new or relevant data to be loaded into the target. This can happen if the source system has no new records since the last load.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in the data transfer process (DTP) may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being selected for loading.
  
  
  Data Transformation Errors: If there are issues in the transformation rules (e.g., mapping fields incorrectly), it may lead to no data being transformed and subsequently loaded.
  
  
  Data Target Locking: The data target might be locked or in a state that prevents updates or inserts.
  
  
  Data Quality Issues: If the data being loaded does not meet the quality checks or validation rules defined in the system, it may be rejected.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues such as database connectivity problems or issues with the BW system itself.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Source: Verify that the data source contains new data. You can do this by checking the source system or running a query on the data source.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Examine the selection criteria in the DTP to ensure they are set correctly and are not filtering out all the data.
  
  
  Validate Transformation Rules: Review the transformation rules to ensure that they are correctly mapping fields and that there are no errors in the transformation logic.
  
  
  Check Data Target Status: Ensure that the data target is not locked and is in a state that allows for updates or inserts. You can check the status in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  Monitor Data Quality: Implement data quality checks to ensure that the data being loaded meets the necessary criteria. You may need to clean or preprocess the data before loading.
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the process logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why no rows were updated or inserted.
  
  
  Test with Smaller Data Sets: If possible, test the data load with a smaller subset of data to isolate the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor and manage data loads.
  Process Chains: If the error occurs within a process chain, review the process chain logs for more detailed information.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message RSDHA108.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the RSDHA108 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
