• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDSO_ACTIVATION048 - Zero elimination is not supported for key figs with MIN/MAX aggregation ?

  The SAP error message RSDSO_ACTIVATION048 indicates that there is an issue with zero elimination in the context of key figures that use MIN or MAX aggregation in a DataStore Object (DSO). This error typically arises when you attempt to activate a DSO that has key figures configured for zero elimination, but those key figures are set to use MIN or MAX aggregation, which does not support zero elimination.
  Cause:
  The root cause of this error is that zero elimination is not compatible with key figures that are aggregated using MIN or MAX functions. Zero elimination is a process that removes zero values from the data during aggregation, but since MIN and MAX functions inherently deal with extreme values, applying zero elimination does not make sense in this context.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Key Figure Settings:
  
  Go to the DSO definition in the SAP BW system.
  Check the key figures that are set to use MIN or MAX aggregation.
  
  
  
  Adjust Aggregation Settings:
  
  If zero elimination is necessary for your reporting or data processing, consider changing the aggregation type of the key figures from MIN or MAX to a different aggregation type that supports zero elimination, such as SUM or COUNT.
  If you need to keep the MIN or MAX aggregation, you will need to remove the zero elimination setting for those key figures.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the DSO:
  
  After making the necessary changes, attempt to activate the DSO again.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After activation, perform tests to ensure that the data behaves as expected and that the changes made do not negatively impact your reporting or data analysis.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Key Figures: In SAP BW, key figures are numerical values that can be aggregated. They can have different aggregation types, such as SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX, etc.
  Zero Elimination: This is a feature that allows the removal of zero values from the data set during aggregation, which can help in providing cleaner reports and analyses.
  DataStore Objects (DSOs): DSOs are used in SAP BW to store detailed transactional data. They can be used for reporting and as a source for further data processing.
  
  Additional Considerations:
  
  Always ensure that any changes made to key figures and their settings align with the overall data model and reporting requirements.
  Document any changes made for future reference and for other team members who may work with the DSO.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDSO_ACTIVATION048 error and successfully activate your DataStore Object.
