• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRD104 - Delete data records from active ODS table &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDRD104 indicates that there is an issue with deleting data records from an active ODS (Operational Data Store) table. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to delete data from an ODS that is currently active and being used for reporting or other operations.
  Cause:
  
  Active ODS Table: The ODS table is currently active, meaning it is being used for reporting or other processes. Deleting records from an active ODS is not allowed to maintain data integrity.
  Data Locking: There may be locks on the ODS table due to ongoing processes or transactions that prevent deletion.
  Incorrect Process: The process or transaction being executed may not be designed to delete records from an active ODS.
  
  Solution:
  
  Deactivate the ODS: If possible, deactivate the ODS table before attempting to delete records. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) by navigating to the ODS object and changing its status.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the ODS table. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the processes holding the locks to complete or resolve them if they are no longer needed.
  Use the Correct Method: Ensure that you are using the correct method to delete records. If you are trying to delete data for a specific reason (e.g., data correction), consider using the appropriate data management tools or processes provided by SAP.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific ODS object you are working with for any additional guidelines or restrictions regarding data deletion.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SM12 (Lock Entries), and others that may help in managing ODS objects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to the specific ODS object or the error message RSDRD104 for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  Data Management Best Practices: Follow best practices for data management in SAP BW, including regular data cleansing and archiving strategies to avoid issues with data deletion.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further assistance.
