• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART804 - Shadow table &1 created and relevant data copied ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART804 indicates that a shadow table has been created for a DataStore Object (DSO) and that relevant data has been copied to this shadow table. This message is typically related to the process of data loading or data management in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The creation of a shadow table usually occurs during the following scenarios:
  
  Data Load Process: When data is being loaded into a DSO, a shadow table is created to ensure that the data load process does not interfere with ongoing queries or reports that may be accessing the DSO.
  Data Consistency: The shadow table allows for data consistency and integrity during the loading process. Once the data load is complete, the shadow table can be activated, and the new data can be made available for reporting.
  Error Handling: If there are issues during the data load, the shadow table can help in rolling back to a previous state without affecting the main table.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve issues related to this message, you can follow these steps:
  
  Check Data Load Status: Verify the status of the data load process. If it is still running, wait for it to complete. If it has failed, check the error logs for details on what went wrong.
  Monitor Shadow Table: You can monitor the shadow table to see if it is being populated correctly. Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the status of the DSO.
  Activate the Shadow Table: If the data load is successful, you may need to activate the shadow table. This can usually be done through the DSO management options in the BW system.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the DSO that could prevent the activation of the shadow table. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Review Data Transfer Process (DTP): If the issue persists, review the Data Transfer Process settings to ensure they are configured correctly.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context on the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to the specific DSO or data load process for any known issues or patches.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on managing DSOs and data loads.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that frequent creation of shadow tables can impact performance. Optimize your data load processes to minimize unnecessary shadow table creation.
