• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR675 - Changes to InfoSource (&) being carried out ?

  The SAP error message RSAR675 indicates that changes are being made to an InfoSource, which can prevent certain operations from being performed on that InfoSource until the changes are completed. This message typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to access or modify an InfoSource that is currently being altered.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An InfoSource is being modified (e.g., changes to its structure, fields, or data sources).
  Another user or process is currently making changes to the same InfoSource.
  The InfoSource is locked for editing due to ongoing data load processes or other administrative tasks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR675 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Wait for Changes to Complete: If you are aware of ongoing changes, wait until those changes are completed. Once the InfoSource is no longer being modified, you should be able to access it without issues.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the InfoSource. If you find any locks that are not being released, you may need to contact the user or administrator responsible for those changes.
  
  
  Review Change Requests: If you are part of a development team, check if there are any change requests or transport requests that are currently being processed that might be affecting the InfoSource.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional information regarding the changes being made to the InfoSource. This can provide insights into what is causing the lock.
  
  
  Contact Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact your SAP Basis team or system administrator for assistance. They can help identify if there are any system-level issues or if a manual intervention is required.
  
  
  Retry the Operation: After confirming that no changes are being made and that the InfoSource is unlocked, retry the operation that triggered the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoSource: An InfoSource in SAP BW is a data structure that defines how data is extracted from a source system and loaded into the BW system.
  Data Loading: If data loading processes are running, they may temporarily lock the InfoSource. Monitor data load processes to ensure they are not causing conflicts.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SM12 (Display and Delete Locks), and SLG1 (Application Log) for troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RSAR675 error and continue working with the InfoSource in SAP BW.
