• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK238 - Temporary storage deleted for request &1 (date &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSBK238 indicates that the temporary storage for a data request has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Data Request Processing: The error usually arises when a data request is processed, and the temporary storage (used for buffering data during the load process) is deleted before the request can be completed.
  Timeouts: If the data load takes too long, the temporary storage may be cleared due to timeouts or system settings.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the BW system may lead to premature deletion of temporary storage.
  Manual Deletion: Temporary storage may also be deleted manually by an administrator or through a batch job that cleans up old requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  Re-run the Data Load: The simplest solution is to re-execute the data load request that triggered the error. Ensure that the data source and transformation are correctly set up.
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about why the temporary storage was deleted.
  Adjust Timeout Settings: If timeouts are causing the issue, consider adjusting the timeout settings in the BW system to allow longer processing times for data loads.
  Monitor Background Jobs: If the data load is part of a background job, ensure that the job is not being interrupted or terminated prematurely.
  Check for Manual Deletion: Ensure that no manual processes are deleting temporary storage while the data load is in progress.
  System Performance: Monitor system performance to ensure that it can handle the data load without issues. High load on the system can lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to monitor data loads and check the status of requests.
  Data Load Monitoring: Use transaction RSMO to monitor the status of data loads and requests.
  SAP Notes: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide patches or configuration recommendations.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and handling temporary storage.
