• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK203 - Request generation started ?

  The SAP error message RSBK203, which states "Request generation started," typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system when there is an issue with the data extraction or loading process. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the request generation process has begun. However, if you are experiencing issues related to this message, it may be indicative of a problem in the data loading process.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Data Load Issues: The data extraction process may be taking longer than expected, or there may be issues with the data source.
  Request Locking: If another process is currently accessing the same data, it may cause delays in request generation.
  Performance Issues: System performance problems, such as high load on the database or application server, can lead to delays.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the InfoPackage or data source configuration can lead to problems in data loading.
  Data Volume: Large volumes of data being processed can also lead to longer request generation times.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Monitor the Process: Check the status of the data load process in the SAP BW system. Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor the status of InfoPackages and data loads.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the requests that might be causing delays. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them.
  Performance Tuning: Analyze the performance of the database and application server. Consider optimizing queries, increasing resources, or scheduling data loads during off-peak hours.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the InfoPackage and data source configurations are correct. Check for any missing or incorrect settings that could affect data loading.
  Reduce Data Volume: If possible, try to reduce the volume of data being loaded in a single request. This can help speed up the request generation process.
  Check Logs: Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 for data warehousing, SM37 for job monitoring, and SLG1 for application logs.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to RSBK203 or data loading processes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and troubleshooting common issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation.
