• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM040 - No overlaps in selection partitions ?

  The SAP error message RSM040 ("No overlaps in selection partitions") typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data loading processes, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error indicates that there are no overlapping data partitions available for the selection criteria specified in your query or data extraction request.
  Cause:
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in your query or data extraction request do not match any data in the specified partitions. This can happen if the data you are trying to extract is not present in the time frame or other dimensions you have selected.
  Partitioning Issues: The data may be partitioned in such a way that the requested data does not fall within the defined partitions. This can occur if the data is partitioned by time (e.g., fiscal year, month) and the selection criteria do not align with any existing partitions.
  Data Load Issues: If the data load process has not been completed successfully, or if there are issues with the data source, it may result in no available data for the specified selection.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria in your query or data extraction request. Ensure that the criteria match the data available in the partitions. Adjust the date ranges or other filters as necessary.
  Review Data Partitions: Check the partitioning settings in your InfoProvider or data source. Ensure that the data you are trying to access is indeed present in the defined partitions. You may need to adjust the partitioning strategy if necessary.
  Data Load Verification: Verify that the data load process has been completed successfully. Check for any errors or warnings in the data load logs that might indicate issues with data extraction or loading.
  Reprocess Data: If necessary, reprocess the data load to ensure that all relevant data is available in the partitions. This may involve re-running the data extraction or loading process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance related to your version of SAP BW/BI, as there may be version-specific considerations.
