3788475 - setup_order timeout during source setup from abap/slt source in replication flow — SAP Datasphere

• An initial load replication flow fails during source setup.
• The replication task sends a SETUP_ORDER to the ABAP/SLT system but no acknowledgment is received.
• Error: "SETUP_ORDER order was sent to ABAP system but no acknowledgment was received: operation timed out."

• Product: SAP Datasphere
• Data Flow / Replication Flow with ABAP as data source

1. Start an initial load replication flow that uses an ABAP/SLT source connection.
2. Observe the task remaining in the “Source setting up” state.
3. After the timeout period, the run fails with the SETUP_ORDER timeout error.

A very large and complex filter expression with many OR conditions caused prolonged processing during setup, so the ABAP side did not acknowledge within the timeout.

1. In the ABAP system (SLT), verify in transaction LTRC that the relevant MTID for the configuration is active; activate it if inactive.
2. Simplify the replication flow filter expression by reducing the number of OR conditions and the overall filter complexity.
3. Save the changes and start the initial load again to allow source setup to complete within the timeout.
