• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA553 - No metadata information found for delta field &1 in DataSource ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA553 indicates that there is no metadata information found for a delta field in a DataSource. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with DataSources that are supposed to provide delta data for extraction.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Delta Field Definition: The delta field that is referenced in the error message is not defined in the DataSource. This can happen if the DataSource was not properly configured or if the delta field was removed or renamed.
  Inconsistent Metadata: There may be inconsistencies in the metadata of the DataSource, especially if changes were made to the underlying source system or if the DataSource was modified without proper updates to the metadata.
  Transport Issues: If the DataSource was transported from one system to another, the delta field might not have been included in the transport request.
  DataSource Activation: The DataSource may not have been activated after changes were made, leading to missing metadata.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Verify that the delta field is correctly defined in the DataSource. If it is missing, you may need to add it back.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource has been modified, ensure that it is activated again. You can do this in RSA1 by selecting the DataSource and choosing the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check Source System:
  
  If the DataSource is connected to a source system, check the source system to ensure that the delta field exists and is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the DataSource was transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including the delta field, were included.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP BW system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be fixes related to this issue.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. You can search for notes related to RSDHA553 in the SAP Support Portal.
