SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DBMAN - Data Manager Message Class

• Message number: 859

• Message text: InfoCube &1 is in load mode. Transactional write not possible

What causes this issue?

You are reading data from the transactional InfoCube &v1& that you
later want to change. However, transactional InfoCube &v1& is currently
in the mode <ZK>Tranactional InfoCube can be loaded with data; no plan
allowed</>. Thus, data can only be loaded into the Infocube using BW
Staging methods.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Change the transactional Infocube to the mode <ZK>Transactional
Infocube can be planned</>. Do so by accessing the BW Admin Workbench
and clicking in Infoprovider &v1& using the right mouse button. A popup
menu appears. Choose the option <ZK> <ZK>Swtich Transactional Infocube
...</> </> and activate the required mode.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN859 - InfoCube &1 is in load mode. Transactional write not possible ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN859 indicates that the InfoCube you are trying to write to is currently in "load mode." This means that the InfoCube is undergoing a data load process, and as a result, transactional writes (such as updates or inserts) are not permitted until the load process is completed.
  Cause:
  
  Data Load in Progress: The InfoCube is actively being loaded with data from a data source (e.g., an InfoPackage).
  Locking Mechanism: SAP BW uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity during the loading process. While the InfoCube is in load mode, it prevents any other transactions that could alter the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Load Completion: The simplest solution is to wait until the data load process is completed. You can monitor the status of the load in the Data Warehousing Workbench or the process chain that is responsible for the load.
  Check Load Status: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSPC (Process Chain) to check the status of the InfoCube and see if the load is still in progress.
  Cancel Load (if necessary): If you determine that the load is stuck or taking too long, you may consider canceling the load process. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench or by using transaction SM37 to find and terminate the relevant background job.
  Post-Load Actions: Once the load is complete, you can proceed with your transactional write operations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoCube: An InfoCube is a multidimensional data structure in SAP BW that stores data for reporting and analysis.
  Load Mode: This is a temporary state during which the InfoCube is being populated with data. It is essential for maintaining data consistency.
  Transactional Write: This refers to operations that modify the data in the InfoCube, such as updates or inserts.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Monitor Load Processes: Regularly monitor your data load processes to avoid unexpected delays.
  Schedule Loads During Off-Peak Hours: If possible, schedule data loads during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on users needing to perform transactional writes.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling and logging mechanisms to quickly identify and resolve issues related to data loading.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DBMAN859 error and successfully perform your intended operations on the InfoCube.
