• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQU008 - DataSource & does not support delta update ?

  The SAP error message RSQU008 indicates that a specific DataSource does not support delta updates. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to set up or execute a delta load for a DataSource that is not configured to handle delta extraction.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource is not configured to support delta extraction. This can happen if the DataSource is set up as a full load DataSource only.
  Source System Limitations: The source system (like an SAP ERP system) may not have the necessary delta capabilities for the specific DataSource.
  Incorrect Delta Settings: The delta settings in the DataSource might not be properly defined or activated.
  DataSource Type: Some DataSources are inherently designed for full loads and do not have delta capabilities.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DataSource Settings:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Check the properties of the DataSource to see if it is set up for delta extraction. If it is not, you may need to create a new DataSource that supports delta or modify the existing one if possible.
  
  
  
  Activate Delta:
  
  If the DataSource is supposed to support delta but is not activated, you can activate the delta mechanism. This usually involves setting up a delta queue in the source system and ensuring that the DataSource is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for the specific DataSource to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding delta extraction.
  
  
  
  Use Full Load:
  
  If delta extraction is not possible for the DataSource, consider using a full load instead. This means you will load all the data every time, which may not be efficient but is a workaround if delta is not supported.
  
  
  
  Check Source System:
  
  Ensure that the source system is capable of providing delta data. This may involve checking the configuration in the source system or consulting with the technical team responsible for it.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address issues with the specific DataSource or provide updates that enable delta extraction.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Delta Mechanism: Delta extraction is a method used in SAP BW to only extract data that has changed since the last extraction, which is more efficient than full loads.
  DataSource Types: Understand the different types of DataSources in SAP BW, such as those that support delta, full loads, or real-time data acquisition.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSA3 (DataSource Test) for troubleshooting.
  
  If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP BW expert for further assistance.
