How To Fix RSO_RES_ADSO281 - Conversion of flavor not possible as a delta DTP exists.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSO_RES_ADSO - Datastore Object

• Message number: 281

• Message text: Conversion of flavor not possible as a delta DTP exists.

What causes this issue?

The flavor of the DataStore object should be changed. This conversion
would cause a change in the source table of the delta extraction. As
there is a delta DTP on top of this DataStore object, this conversion is
not allowed.

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?

Either remove the delta DTP or revert the change of the flavor of the
DataStore object.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO281 - Conversion of flavor not possible as a delta DTP exists. ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO281 indicates that there is an issue with converting a data flow flavor in the context of an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) when a delta Data Transfer Process (DTP) exists. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA environments.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system does not allow the conversion of a flavor (which can be a change in the structure or characteristics of the ADSO) when there is an active delta DTP associated with that ADSO. The delta DTP is used to load data incrementally, and changing the structure of the ADSO while a delta DTP is active can lead to inconsistencies in the data loading process.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Delta DTPs: Identify the delta DTPs that are currently active for the ADSO in question. You can do this by navigating to the DTP management area in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  Deactivate Delta DTP: If you find that there are active delta DTPs, you will need to deactivate them. This can usually be done in the DTP settings. Make sure to inform relevant stakeholders about this change, as it may affect ongoing data loads.
  
  
  Convert the Flavor: Once the delta DTP is deactivated, you can proceed with the conversion of the flavor for the ADSO.
  
  
  Reactivate Delta DTP: After successfully converting the flavor, you can reactivate the delta DTP. Ensure that the DTP settings are still valid and that the data flow is functioning as expected.
  
  
  Test the Data Flow: After reactivating the delta DTP, perform a test load to ensure that everything is working correctly and that there are no further issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on ADSO and DTP management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  Data Modeling: Understanding the implications of changing the structure of an ADSO and how it interacts with DTPs is crucial for effective data modeling in SAP BW.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSO_RES_ADSO281 error and successfully manage your ADSO and DTP configurations.
