• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST020 - Compression of calculation trigger or calculation is currently active ?

  The SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST020 indicates that a compression of a calculation trigger or calculation is currently active. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there are ongoing processes that prevent certain operations from being executed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Active Compression: The error usually arises when a compression process is running on a data model, InfoCube, or DataStore Object (DSO). Compression is a process that optimizes data storage and performance by reducing the size of the data.
  Concurrent Processes: If multiple processes are trying to access or modify the same data model simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  Long-running Processes: Sometimes, a compression process may take longer than expected, causing other operations to be blocked.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any active jobs related to compression. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to complete.
