How To Fix RSO_RES_ADSO240 - '&1': Multiple initialization of reference point

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSO_RES_ADSO - Datastore Object

• Message number: 240

• Message text: '&1': Multiple initialization of reference point

What causes this issue?

An attempt was made to load an initialization (field 'recordtp' = 1)
into the system although there is already a record with the same
characteristics and with a smaller TSN in the provider. This is not
allowed and therefore the request status has been set to 'RED'.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the requests are loaded in the wrong sequence
(initializations have to be loaded before the corresponding movements)
or whether two initializations are loaded by mistake.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO240 - '&1': Multiple initialization of reference point ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO240 '&1': "Multiple initialization of reference point" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO). This error indicates that there is an issue with the initialization of a reference point in the data flow, which can happen during data loading or transformation processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Initializations: The error usually arises when there are multiple attempts to initialize the same reference point in a data flow. This can happen if:
  
  The same data source is being initialized multiple times in parallel.
  There are overlapping or conflicting data load processes that target the same ADSO.
  The data flow is incorrectly configured, leading to multiple initializations.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the data flow or transformation logic can also lead to this error. For example, if the data flow is not properly set up to handle the initialization of reference points, it can cause conflicts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Load Processes: Review the data load processes to ensure that there are no overlapping or concurrent initializations of the same reference point. Make sure that only one process is trying to initialize the reference point at a time.
  
  
  Adjust Data Flow Configuration: 
  
  Verify the configuration of the data flow and transformations. Ensure that the reference points are correctly defined and that there are no conflicting settings.
  If necessary, modify the data flow to prevent multiple initializations. This may involve changing the sequence of data loads or adjusting the logic in transformations.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Control Load Processes: Implement monitoring and control mechanisms to manage data load processes effectively. This can help prevent multiple initializations from occurring simultaneously.
  
  
  Check for Errors in Previous Loads: Sometimes, previous load errors can cause subsequent loads to behave unexpectedly. Check the logs for any errors in prior data loads that might have affected the current process.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or fixes related to this error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW Documentation: Review the official SAP BW documentation for detailed information on Advanced DataStore Objects and data flow management.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to analyze and manage data flows and ADSOs.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
