• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODSO_ACT_MPP016 - Data package size &1 not allowed ?

  The SAP error message RSODSO_ACT_MPP016 indicates that the data package size specified for a data transfer is not allowed. This error typically occurs in the context of data loading processes, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Exceeding Maximum Package Size: The data package size being used exceeds the maximum limit set in the system configuration. This limit is often defined in the settings for the DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider.
  Configuration Settings: The settings for the data transfer process (DTP) or the data source may not be configured correctly, leading to an invalid package size.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being processed in a single package may be too large, which can happen if the data is not being split appropriately.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Package Size Settings:
  
  Go to the DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider settings in the SAP BW system.
  Verify the maximum package size allowed for data loading. This can usually be found in the DTP settings or the DSO configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Transfer Process (DTP) Settings:
  
  Open the DTP that is being used for the data load.
  Check the settings for the data package size. You may need to reduce the package size to comply with the maximum allowed limit.
  
  
  
  Split Data Load:
  
  If the data volume is too large, consider splitting the data load into smaller chunks. This can be done by adjusting the selection criteria or using filters to limit the amount of data processed in each load.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Optimize Data Loads:
  
  Monitor the data load processes to identify any patterns or specific data that may be causing the issue.
  Optimize the data model and loading processes to ensure efficient data handling.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW or HANA you are using for any additional configuration settings or limitations.
