• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMD293 - Delta handling: New record with key &1 created ?

  The SAP error message RSDMD293 typically indicates that there is an issue with delta handling in the context of data extraction or data loading in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This message is often related to the process of delta updates where a new record is created in the data target (like an InfoCube or DataStore Object) due to the delta mechanism.
  Cause:
  
  New Record Creation: The error message suggests that a new record with a specific key has been created during the delta update process. This can happen if the delta mechanism is not correctly identifying existing records and is treating them as new entries.
  Data Source Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the data source or the delta process itself, such as incorrect delta initialization or missing delta indicators.
  Data Consistency: There might be inconsistencies in the data being loaded, such as missing keys or incorrect data formats that prevent the delta process from functioning correctly.
  Change Log Issues: If the change log is not properly maintained or if there are issues with the data extraction process, it can lead to the creation of new records instead of updating existing ones.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delta Initialization: Ensure that the delta initialization for the data source has been performed correctly. If it has not been done, perform a full load followed by a delta initialization.
  Review Data Source Settings: Verify the settings of the data source in the SAP BW system. Ensure that the delta mechanism is correctly configured and that the necessary fields for delta processing are included.
  Data Consistency Check: Check the source system for data consistency. Ensure that the records being extracted have the correct keys and formats.
  Monitor Change Logs: Review the change logs in the source system to ensure that they are being updated correctly. If there are issues, you may need to troubleshoot the data extraction process.
  Reprocess Delta Requests: If the delta requests have failed or are inconsistent, consider reprocessing them. You may need to delete the problematic requests and reload the data.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on delta handling issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW Documentation: Review the official SAP BW documentation for detailed information on delta handling and data extraction processes.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSMO (Monitor Data Load) to monitor and manage data loads effectively.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to involve your SAP Basis or BW support team for further investigation.
