• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSINP118 - DataStore Object & Is Not of Direct Write Type ?

  The SAP error message RSINP118 indicates that a DataStore Object (DSO) is not of the "Direct Write" type, which is required for certain operations, particularly when trying to load data directly into the DSO. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are attempting to perform a data load operation that expects the DSO to be configured for direct writes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the DataStore Object you are trying to load data into is not set up as a Direct Write DSO. In SAP BW, there are different types of DSOs, including:
  
  Standard DSO: Used for storing data in a transparent way, but does not support direct writes.
  Direct Write DSO: Specifically designed to allow direct data writes, which is necessary for certain data loading processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSINP118 error, you need to ensure that the DataStore Object is configured as a Direct Write DSO. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check DSO Type:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the DataStore Object in question.
  Check the properties of the DSO to see its type.
  
  
  
  Change DSO Type:
  
  If the DSO is not a Direct Write DSO and you need it to be, you may need to create a new Direct Write DSO.
  You can do this by creating a new DSO and selecting the "Direct Write" option during the creation process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Load Process:
  
  If changing the DSO type is not feasible (for example, if it is already in use), you may need to adjust your data load process to use a different DSO that is configured for direct writes.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Data Load:
  
  After making the necessary changes, re-run the data load process to see if the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Direct Write DSO: This type of DSO allows data to be written directly into the DSO without the need for an intermediate staging area. It is particularly useful for real-time data processing.
  Data Load Process: Ensure that your data load process is compatible with the DSO type you are using. For example, if you are using an InfoPackage or a transformation that requires a Direct Write DSO, make sure the DSO is configured accordingly.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes and official documentation for any updates or specific configurations related to your version of SAP BW.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSINP118 error and successfully load data into your DataStore Object.
