SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSM1 - Messages for AWB, Scheduler and Monitor (new)

• Message number: 340

• Message text: Changing automatic switch inititialization package; see long text

What causes this issue?

When this InfoPackage is used in a process chain, the load method
switches automatically from delta process <ZH>initialization</> to delta
process <ZH>execution</>. This applies if an active initialization
request already exists.
You are trying to change the former load method <LS>delta process
initialization</>.
To deliver the InfoPackage, the load method must be<LS> delta process
initialization</>. If this is not the case, the InfoPackage can not be
used after BI Content is activated.

System Response

If you save the InfoPackage with a load method other than <LS>delta
process initialization</>, you will deliver an InfoPackage that does
<ZH>not</> switch to <ZH>delta process execution</> and therefore does
not function correctly in the process chain.

How to fix this error?

Before you save the InfoPackage, check:
Why does this InfoPackage have load method <LS>delta process
initialization</>?
Why is the 'Switch InfoPackage in PC to Delta' indicator set?
