• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO184 - Table &1 already contains data. Cannot copy from shadow table &2. ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO184 indicates that there is an issue with data loading into an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO). Specifically, the error states that the target table (the ADSO) already contains data, and therefore, it cannot copy data from the shadow table.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Data Already Exists: The target ADSO already has data in it, and the system is trying to load data from a shadow table that is meant to replace or update the existing data.
  Incorrect Load Process: The data load process may not be configured correctly, leading to attempts to overwrite existing data without proper handling.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data load process, such as failed previous loads that left the ADSO in a state that prevents new data from being loaded.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Data: Verify if the target ADSO indeed contains data. You can do this by checking the ADSO in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  Delete Existing Data: If appropriate, you can delete the existing data in the ADSO before attempting to load new data. This can be done using the Data Warehousing Workbench or through a data deletion process.
  
  
  Adjust Load Process: Review the data load process to ensure it is set up correctly. If you are using a process chain, check the sequence of steps and ensure that the data is being loaded in the correct order.
  
  
  Use Delta Load: If applicable, consider using a delta load instead of a full load. This will only load new or changed records, which may help avoid the error.
  
  
  Check for Errors in Previous Loads: Investigate any previous data load attempts that may have failed. Resolve any issues that may have caused those failures before attempting to load data again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP BW system for any additional guidance or known issues related to this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or fixes related to this error.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSPC (Process Chain) to manage and monitor data loads.
  Data Modeling: Ensure that your data model is correctly designed to handle the data load processes you are implementing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to successfully load data into your ADSO.
