• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DTINF196 - Requests with status (Finished) can be displayed ?

  The SAP error message DTINF196 indicates that you are trying to access or display requests that have a status of "Finished." This message typically arises in the context of data transport or data transfer processes, particularly when dealing with the Data Transfer Workbench (DTW) or similar tools in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Request Status: The primary cause of this error is that the request you are trying to display has already been completed and is in a "Finished" state. In SAP, finished requests are usually not available for further processing or modification.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manage finished requests.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict access to finished requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the request you are trying to access. If it is indeed finished, you may need to look for other requests that are still in a modifiable state (e.g., "In Process" or "Released").
  Use Appropriate Transactions: If you need to view finished requests, ensure you are using the correct transaction codes or tools that allow for the display of finished requests. For example, you might use transaction codes like SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer) to view transport requests.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to view finished requests. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify or adjust your authorizations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling finished requests in your version of SAP.
