• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME726 - Only Batch mode is allowed for this operation &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDME726, which states "Only Batch mode is allowed for this operation &1," typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments. This error indicates that the operation you are trying to perform is not allowed in the current mode and must be executed in batch mode instead.
  Cause:
  
  Execution Mode: The operation you are attempting to perform is not supported in the current execution mode (usually dialog mode). Certain operations, especially those involving large data sets or complex transformations, are restricted to batch processing to ensure system stability and performance.
  Data Load Settings: The settings for the data load or extraction process may not be configured to allow for the operation in the current mode.
  System Configuration: There may be system-level configurations or restrictions that enforce batch processing for specific operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Batch Mode: 
  
  If you are executing a data load or extraction process, ensure that you are running it in batch mode. This can typically be done by using transaction codes like RSA1 for data loading or using specific batch job scheduling tools in SAP.
  You can schedule the job using transaction SM36 to create a batch job that includes the data load or extraction process.
  
  
  
  Check Process Chains: 
  
  If you are using process chains, ensure that the relevant data load or extraction steps are configured to run in batch mode. You can check the settings in the process chain maintenance (transaction RSPC).
  
  
  
  Review Job Logs: 
  
  If the error occurs during a scheduled job, review the job logs for additional details that may provide insight into why the operation failed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific operation you are trying to perform. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be met.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: 
  
  If you suspect that system configuration is causing the issue, consult with your SAP Basis team to review the settings related to data processing modes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional context.
  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, RSPC, and SM37 for monitoring jobs and process chains.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDME726 error and successfully execute the required operation in batch mode.
