• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1536 - SID &1 is smaller than / equal to archiving SID &2 of DSO &3; canceled ?

  The SAP error message RSM1536 indicates that there is an issue with the archiving process of a DataStore Object (DSO) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, the error states that the SID (Surrogate ID) of the data being processed is smaller than or equal to the SID of the archived data, which is not allowed. This typically occurs during the archiving process when the system tries to archive data that has already been archived or when there is a mismatch in the SID values.
  Cause:
  
  SID Mismatch: The SID of the data you are trying to archive is less than or equal to the SID of the data that has already been archived. This can happen if the data in the DSO has been modified or if there are inconsistencies in the SID generation.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data or the SID table, possibly due to previous failed archiving attempts or data loads.
  Incorrect Archiving Logic: The logic used to determine which records to archive may not be correctly implemented, leading to attempts to archive records that should not be archived.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Ensure that the data in the DSO is consistent. You can use transaction codes like RSA1 to check the status of the DSO and ensure that there are no inconsistencies.
  Review Archiving Logic: Review the logic used for archiving to ensure that it correctly identifies records that can be archived. Make sure that the selection criteria do not include records that have already been archived.
  Adjust SID Generation: If there are issues with SID generation, you may need to regenerate the SIDs for the affected records. This can be done using the appropriate SAP BW tools or transactions.
  Delete or Correct Archived Data: If the archived data is causing issues, you may need to delete or correct the archived records. Be cautious with this step, as it may affect reporting and data integrity.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSMO (Manage Data Archiving), and RSCUSTV10 (Customizing for Data Archiving).
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to data archiving in BW for best practices and guidelines.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves complex data integrity issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM1536 error and successfully complete the archiving process for your DSO.
