SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDODSO - Messages for ODS Objects

• Message number: 157

• Message text: SID generation switched on during activation. See long text

What causes this issue?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

When activating DataStore object &V1& SIDs have to be got for all
characteristic values in the DataStore object tables, provided that
these characteristic values are not already assigned any SIDs. This is
required because the SIDs are used in BEx Reporting.
The activation of DataStore object &V1& can thus take a while longer.

How to fix this error?

If the activation of DataStore object &V1& terminates due to timeout,
you have to activate the DataStore object with the program
RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE in the background.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO157 - SID generation switched on during activation. See long text ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO157 indicates that the SID (Surrogate ID) generation has been switched on during the activation of a DataStore Object (DSO). This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to activate a DSO and there is a configuration issue related to SID generation.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  SID Generation Settings: The DSO may have been configured to generate SIDs, but there may be issues with the underlying data or the configuration that prevents successful generation.
  Data Issues: The data being loaded into the DSO may have duplicates or inconsistencies that prevent the SID generation process from completing successfully.
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues in the BW system, such as missing authorizations, system inconsistencies, or problems with the underlying database.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDODSO157 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check DSO Settings: Review the settings of the DSO to ensure that SID generation is configured correctly. You can do this in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data being loaded into the DSO is consistent and does not contain duplicates. You may need to clean the data or adjust the data load process to avoid issues.
  
  
  Re-activate the DSO: After addressing any data issues, try to re-activate the DSO. You can do this by navigating to the DSO in RSA1 and selecting the "Activate" option.
  
  
  Check for Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the activation and SID generation.
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the activation logs for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what went wrong during the activation process. This can help you identify specific issues that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
  
  
  System Health Check: If the problem persists, consider performing a system health check to identify any underlying technical issues that may be affecting the activation process.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance), and RSCUSTV10 (Customizing for BW).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for detailed information on DataStore Objects and SID generation.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to seek advice from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDODSO157 error and successfully activate your DataStore Object.
