• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBC059 - DTP &1 cannot request delta init for &2. System copy running. ?

  The SAP error message RSBC059 indicates that a Data Transfer Process (DTP) cannot request a delta initialization because a system copy is currently running. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is an ongoing system copy or data migration process that affects the data consistency and integrity.
  Cause:
  
  System Copy in Progress: The primary cause of this error is that a system copy or a similar operation is being executed, which locks certain processes and prevents the DTP from executing a delta initialization.
  Data Consistency Issues: During a system copy, the data in the source and target systems may not be consistent, leading to restrictions on certain operations like delta initialization.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for the System Copy to Complete: The simplest solution is to wait until the system copy process is finished. Once the system copy is complete, you should be able to execute the DTP without encountering this error.
  Check System Status: Monitor the status of the system copy. You can check transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see if there are any long-running jobs related to the system copy.
  Restart DTP: After the system copy is complete, try to restart the DTP that was failing. Ensure that the DTP is configured correctly and that all prerequisites are met.
  Check for Locks: If the system copy has completed but you still encounter the error, check for any locks that might be preventing the DTP from executing. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
  Consult SAP Notes: If the issue persists, consult SAP Notes or the SAP Support Portal for any specific notes related to this error message or the version of SAP you are using.
  
  Related Information:
  
  DTP (Data Transfer Process): A DTP is used in SAP BW to transfer data from a source to a target (e.g., InfoProvider). Delta initialization is a process that allows you to load only the changes made since the last data load.
  System Copy: A system copy is a process where a complete copy of the SAP system is made, often for testing or development purposes. This can involve copying the database and application server configurations.
  Monitoring Tools: Use tools like ST22 (Dump Analysis) and SM21 (System Log) to check for any related errors or issues that might provide more context on the problem.
