• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART408 - Deactivate all active aggregates of InfoCube &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART408 indicates that there are active aggregates associated with an InfoCube that need to be deactivated before certain operations can be performed, such as deleting or modifying the InfoCube. This is a common issue in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when managing InfoCubes and their aggregates.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system has detected that there are active aggregates linked to the specified InfoCube. Aggregates are pre-calculated summaries of data that improve query performance. However, before making structural changes to the InfoCube, all active aggregates must be deactivated to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to deactivate all active aggregates associated with the InfoCube. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Aggregates:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and navigate to the InfoCube in question.
  You can do this through the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  
  
  
  Locate Aggregates:
  
  In the InfoCube maintenance screen, look for the aggregates section. This is usually found under the "Aggregates" tab or section.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Aggregates:
  
  Identify all active aggregates linked to the InfoCube.
  For each aggregate, select it and choose the option to deactivate it. This may involve right-clicking on the aggregate and selecting "Deactivate" or using a specific menu option.
  
  
  
  Confirm Deactivation:
  
  Ensure that all aggregates are successfully deactivated. You may need to refresh the view or check the status of the aggregates to confirm.
  
  
  
  Retry the Operation:
  
  Once all aggregates are deactivated, you can retry the operation that triggered the error message (e.g., deleting or modifying the InfoCube).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Performance Considerations: Deactivating aggregates may impact query performance temporarily, as the system will no longer use the pre-calculated data until new aggregates are created.
  Reactivating Aggregates: After completing the necessary changes to the InfoCube, you can reactivate the aggregates or create new ones as needed.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed instructions on managing aggregates and InfoCubes in SAP BW.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSD1 (InfoObject maintenance) for managing InfoCubes and aggregates.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDU_REPART408 error and proceed with your intended operations on the InfoCube.
