error Error 6 in function module RSS_PROGRAM_GENERATE

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am enahncing a structure and when I tried to double click on the IO, I got an error "Event with errors Extract in Datasource ..."

When I was using RSA3 to run the extractor, I got an error error "Error 6 in function module RSS_PROGRAM_GENERATE"

How can I correct this?

Thanks

RT

hi RT,

check if helps oss note 705212:

Syntax error in the generated extraction program Symptom

You notice the error by one of the following symptoms:

The loading of transaction data from an R/3 system terminates with a syntax error in the generated extraction program. The monitor displays the error messages:

R3027 "Error & during the generation of the data transfer program"

RSM340 "Error in the source system"

The extraction within the extractor checker terminates with error message RJ028 "Error 6 in function module RSS_PROGRAM_GENERATE".The activation of transfer rules ends in BW with error message RG102 "Syntax error in GP$ERR$, row... (-> long text)" from the source system. Usually, the diagnosis in the long text of the error message is: "...could not be interpreted. Possible error causes: Incorrect notation or... "

Other terms

OLTP, extractor, data extraction, DataSource, Service API, SAPI,

R3 027, R3 27, RSM 340, RJ 028, RJ 28

Reason and Prerequisites

The error only occurs in the source system, if this contains Basis Release 3.1I and Service API (SAPI) 3.0C Support Package 6. SAPI 3.0C Support Package 6 is contained, for example, in PI 2003.1 Support Package 7 (see attached composite SAP note 673002).

Solution

To correct the problem you need service API 3.0C Support Package 7 in the affected source system. The attached composite SAP note 704971 explains in which software components service API 3.0C is contained, and what the corresponding Support Packages of these components are.

Alternatively, you can also copy the advance correction from the appendix.

Hi A.H.P

Thanks for the info. I submitted the finding on my own through OSS according to your sugestion to Basis, but I was told the note suggested is not for the system version that we have, but for the previous older system version. I read through other OSS notes but thought this would be the closest. Our system is ECC 6.0. Is this 4.6 or 4.7 or NetWeaver? Any ideas?

Has anyone else come across this problem? BTW, how would I find out which system version I am working on? I tried the Options but it only has the GUI version. Please advise.

Thanks

Hi Rob,

This error indicates that you were testing hierarchy datasources.

Please don't use transaction RSA3 for testing or checking the extraction of hierarchy datasources. This transaction is not meant for checking hierarchies, as it can lead to the error you have mentioned above.

Instead use the report RSA1HCAT, to check hierarchies and to display the following:

1.Meta data

2.Hierarchy tree

3.Hierarchy list

RSA1HCAT is a pure display report which cannot change the hierarchy, & won't influence the display in RSA3. It will not change whether the error is given or not in RSA3.

See attached Note 483878 for further details.

Rgds,

Colum
