SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDODSO - Messages for ODS Objects

• Message number: 216

• Message text: Check modeling as type "write optimized"

What causes this issue?

You set the key figure <LS>Unique Data Records</>.

System Response

Check a modeling of the DataStore object as type <ZH>write-optimized</>.

How to fix this error?

If you want to load data that is not relevant for reporting (it is not
necessary to create SID values), you can use the DataStore object type
<LS>write-optimized</>. With this type, data is not activated
(calculation of the delta), so that the data is available for further
processing more quickly.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO216 - Check modeling as type "write optimized" ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO216 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with DataStore Objects (DSOs). This error indicates that there is an issue with the modeling of a DataStore Object that is supposed to be "write-optimized." 
  Cause:
  The error message RSDODSO216 usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Modeling Type Mismatch: The DataStore Object is not correctly set up as a write-optimized DSO. This can happen if the DSO is incorrectly configured or if the settings do not align with the requirements for write-optimized storage.
  
  
  Incompatible Settings: The DSO may have incompatible settings that prevent it from functioning as a write-optimized DSO. This could include issues with the key fields, data types, or other configuration parameters.
  
  
  Data Transfer Issues: If there are issues with the data transfer process, such as incorrect data formats or missing fields, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDODSO216 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check DSO Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataStore Object in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Ensure that the DSO is set up as a write-optimized DSO. This can be checked in the properties of the DSO.
  
  
  
  Review Key Fields:
  
  Verify that the key fields of the DSO are correctly defined and that they match the incoming data structure. Ensure that the key fields are unique and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Types:
  
  Check the data types of the fields in the DSO and ensure they are compatible with the incoming data. Mismatched data types can lead to errors during data loading.
  
  
  
  Check Data Transfer Process:
  
  Review the data transfer process (DTP) settings to ensure that they are correctly configured for the write-optimized DSO. Make sure that the source and target mappings are correct.
  
  
  
  Re-Model the DSO:
  
  If the issue persists, consider re-modeling the DSO. You may need to create a new write-optimized DSO and migrate the data from the old DSO if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or fixes related to this error.

  Write-Optimized DSO: This type of DSO is designed for high-speed data loading and is typically used for staging data before it is transformed and loaded into a more structured format.
  DataStore Object (DSO): A DSO is a storage object in SAP BW that allows for the storage of detailed transactional data. It can be configured in different ways, including write-optimized, standard, and direct-update.
  SAP BW Modeling Tools: Familiarize yourself with the SAP BW modeling tools, as they provide the interface for creating and managing DSOs and other data models.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP BW administrator or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
