• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQU029 - Update mode for extractor has been changed to "Repeat" ?

  The SAP error message RSQU029 indicates that the update mode for a data extractor has been changed to "Repeat." This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there are issues with the data extraction process from the source system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Consistency Issues: The extractor may have detected inconsistencies in the data being extracted, prompting it to switch to "Repeat" mode to ensure that the data is accurately captured.
  Delta Mechanism Problems: If the delta mechanism (used for incremental data loads) encounters issues, such as missing delta records or problems with the delta queue, it may revert to "Repeat" mode.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of the extractor or the underlying data source can lead to this message.
  Data Source Activation: If the data source is not properly activated or if there are issues with the data source in the source system, it can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delta Queue: Verify the delta queue in the source system to ensure that there are no missing or stuck records. You can use transaction codes like RSA7 to monitor the delta queue.
  Reinitialize the Delta: If the delta mechanism is not functioning correctly, you may need to reinitialize the delta for the extractor. This involves performing a full load and then setting up the delta extraction again.
  Review Extractor Settings: Check the settings of the extractor in the SAP BW system to ensure that they are correctly configured. This includes verifying the update mode and ensuring that the extractor is properly activated.
  Monitor Data Consistency: Ensure that the data in the source system is consistent and that there are no issues with the underlying tables or data structures.
  Check for Notes and Patches: Look for any SAP Notes or patches related to the specific extractor or data source you are using. Sometimes, SAP releases updates to address known issues.
  Consult Logs: Review the logs for the data extraction process to identify any specific errors or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA3 (to test the extractor), RSA7 (to monitor delta queues), and RSMO (to monitor data loads).
  SAP Notes: Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to the specific extractor or error message for additional troubleshooting steps or solutions.
  Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for the specific extractor you are using to understand its configuration and operational guidelines.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the issue related to the RSQU029 error message.
