Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM705 - No full update allowed ?

  The SAP error message RSM705 "No full update allowed" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to perform a full update on a DataSource that is not configured to allow it. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data extraction or when trying to load data into InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource is set up to only allow delta updates, and a full update is being attempted.
  InfoPackage Settings: The InfoPackage that is being used for data loading may be configured incorrectly, leading to the attempt of a full update when it is not permitted.
  DataSource Type: Some DataSources are inherently designed for delta updates only, especially if they are based on certain types of source systems or if they have been specifically configured that way.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Settings:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system and check its settings. Ensure that it is configured to allow full updates if that is what you need.
  If the DataSource is set to allow only delta updates, you may need to create a new DataSource that allows full updates or adjust your data loading strategy.
  
  
  
  Adjust InfoPackage:
  
  Review the InfoPackage settings that you are using to load data. Make sure that it is set to perform a delta load if the DataSource does not support full updates.
  If you need to perform a full load, consider using a different InfoPackage or modifying the existing one to accommodate the full load.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or limitations regarding full and delta updates.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to navigate to the DataSource and InfoPackage settings for further investigation.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes and Patches:
  
  Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches that address specific issues related to DataSources and updates. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Delta vs. Full Updates: Understanding the difference between delta and full updates is crucial. Delta updates only transfer data that has changed since the last update, while full updates transfer all data.
  DataSource Types: Familiarize yourself with the types of DataSources available in SAP BW and their respective capabilities regarding updates.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engaging with the SAP community can provide insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further assistance.
