  Causes of RU539
  
  
  Incorrect Delta Configuration: The delta mechanism may not be properly configured. This can happen if the delta queue is not set up correctly or if the delta logic is not defined properly in the data source.
  
  
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the delta is being extracted may not support delta extraction, or there may be issues with the data source itself (e.g., missing or inconsistent data).
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model (like changes in the structure of the InfoObject or InfoProvider) can lead to issues with delta extraction.
  
  
  Missing Delta Initialization: If the delta initialization has not been performed, the system may not have a baseline to compare against for delta extraction.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: If there are inconsistencies in the data (e.g., missing keys or records), the delta extraction may fail.

  Review Data Source: Check the data source for any issues. Ensure that it supports delta extraction and that the data is consistent and complete.
  
  
  Monitor Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that these changes are reflected in the data source and that the delta extraction logic is updated accordingly.
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency: Validate the data in the source system to ensure there are no missing or inconsistent records that could affect the delta extraction.
