SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRCACHE - Messages for OLAP Cache

• Message number: 040

• Message text: At least one cache object cannot be persisted in the cache directory

What causes this issue?

At least one cache object cannot be compressed and stored persistently
in the cache directory.

System Response

The cache object will not be stored persistently in the cache directory.
It remains available for the current runtime however. This means that
the behavior of this cache object is as if the cache mode were set to 0
(local).

How to fix this error?

This is normally a result of the cache object being too large.
Change the query definition to prevent particularly large result sets
from being created.
If this happens when extracting from a Query as InfoProvider, we
recommend changing the Cache mode to I (inactive) or 0 (local).
