• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4HPREP118 - Run &1 contains objects of current scope; Finalize or continue this run. ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4HPREP118 typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA environment, particularly when dealing with data loading or process chains. This error indicates that the run you are trying to execute contains objects that are still in the current scope, and you need to either finalize or continue the run.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following situations:
  
  Incomplete Process Chain Execution: The process chain you are trying to execute has not been completed successfully, and there are still objects that are pending or in a state that prevents further execution.
  Dependency Issues: There may be dependencies between different steps in the process chain that have not been resolved, leading to the current run being blocked.
  Data Locking: There might be locks on certain data objects that prevent the process from finalizing or continuing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_B4HPREP118 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Process Chain Status:
  
  Go to the process chain monitor (transaction code: RSPC) and check the status of the process chain that is causing the error.
  Look for any steps that are in error or waiting for completion.
  
  
  
  Finalize or Continue the Run:
  
  If the process chain is still running, you may need to finalize it. You can do this by selecting the process chain and choosing the option to finalize or continue the run.
  If there are errors in specific steps, you may need to correct those errors before you can finalize the run.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the logs for the process chain to identify any specific errors or warnings that may provide more context on what is causing the blockage.
  You can access logs through the process chain monitor or by checking the relevant data load logs.
  
  
  
  Resolve Dependencies:
  
  If there are dependencies between different steps, ensure that all prerequisite steps have been completed successfully before attempting to run the process chain again.
  
  
  
  Data Locking:
  
  If data locking is an issue, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or manually release them if you have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Restart the Process Chain:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider restarting the entire process chain after ensuring that all previous runs have been finalized.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSPC (Process Chain Monitor) and RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for monitoring and managing process chains.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional troubleshooting steps or patches that may address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on process chains and data loading for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
