• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODSO_ROLLBACK018 - Data target &1 is not a write-optimized-DSO ?

  The SAP error message RSODSO_ROLLBACK018 indicates that the data target specified (in this case, a DataStore Object or DSO) is not configured as a write-optimized DSO. This error typically occurs during data loading processes when the system expects a write-optimized DSO but finds a standard or other type of DSO instead.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect DSO Type: The data target you are trying to load data into is not set up as a write-optimized DSO. Write-optimized DSOs are specifically designed for high-speed data loading and are used in scenarios where data is frequently loaded but not necessarily updated or deleted.
  Configuration Issues: The DSO might have been created or configured incorrectly, or it may have been changed after the initial setup.
  Data Flow Mismatch: The data flow or transformation logic may be incorrectly pointing to a standard DSO instead of a write-optimized DSO.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DSO Configuration:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the DataStore Object in question and check its properties.
  Ensure that the DSO is configured as a write-optimized DSO. If it is not, you may need to create a new write-optimized DSO.
  
  
  
  Create a New Write-Optimized DSO:
  
  If the existing DSO cannot be converted to a write-optimized DSO, consider creating a new write-optimized DSO.
  Ensure that the new DSO is set up correctly with the appropriate key fields and data structure.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Flow:
  
  Review the data flow and transformation logic to ensure that it is correctly pointing to the write-optimized DSO.
  Update any data transfer processes or transformations that may be incorrectly configured.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data loading process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Write-Optimized DSO: This type of DSO is designed for fast data loading and is typically used in scenarios where data is loaded in bulk and does not require complex transformations or updates.
  Standard DSO: This type of DSO is used for scenarios where data needs to be updated or deleted frequently and is not optimized for high-speed loading.
  SAP BW/4HANA: If you are using SAP BW/4HANA, be aware of the differences in DSO types and configurations compared to earlier versions of SAP BW.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider consulting SAP documentation or reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
