• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42080 - Object is checked in; refresh the info object list ?

  The SAP error message "42080: Object is checked in; refresh the info object list" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to perform an action on an InfoObject that is currently checked in. This message indicates that the system is unable to process your request because the object is not in a state that allows for modifications or certain operations.
  Cause:
  
  Object Status: The InfoObject you are trying to work with is checked in, meaning it is locked for editing by another user or process.
  Session State: The system may not have the latest information about the status of the InfoObject, leading to a discrepancy in what you see versus the actual state of the object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refresh the InfoObject List: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (like RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Refresh the InfoObject list to update the status of the objects. This can usually be done by clicking on the refresh button or using the appropriate menu option.
  
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, check the status of the InfoObject to see if it is indeed checked in. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject in the Data Warehousing Workbench and checking its properties.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  If you suspect that another user has the object checked out, you may need to communicate with that user to either check it back in or coordinate your changes.
  You can also check the lock entries in transaction SM12 to see if there are any locks on the object.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action you are attempting. Lack of proper permissions can sometimes lead to misleading error messages.
  
  
  
  Log Off and Log Back In:
  
  Sometimes, simply logging off and back into the SAP system can resolve session-related issues.
