How To Fix RSBK253 - Requests set to 'incorrect' in a parallel mode

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSBK - Messages for the Data Transfer Process

• Message number: 253

• Message text: Requests set to 'incorrect' in a parallel mode

What causes this issue?

The request was processed in multiple parallel processes. One of these
processes terminated with an error. As a result, the current process was
also interrupted. The actual cause of the termination, however, lies
elsewhere.

System Response

Processing of the current request was interrupted.

How to fix this error?

Analyze the log for the request in the data transfer process monitor.
The error that caused the termination is the first error that is visible
in the log. Use the option for time-dependent display of the status of
request processing in the monitor (menu option <LS>Set Date/Time Stamp
</> at the node in the display of the request processing).

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK253 - Requests set to 'incorrect' in a parallel mode ?

  The SAP error message RSBK253 indicates that there are requests in the Data Warehouse that have been set to 'incorrect' status while processing in parallel mode. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes, particularly when dealing with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: The requests may have encountered data consistency issues during the extraction or loading process. This can happen if there are conflicts in the data being processed or if the data source is not available.
  
  
  Locking Issues: If multiple processes are trying to access the same data simultaneously, it can lead to locking issues, causing some requests to fail.
  
  
  Parallel Processing Limitations: The system may have limitations on how many requests can be processed in parallel, leading to some requests being marked as incorrect if they exceed these limits.
  
  
  Errors in Data Transformation: If there are errors in the transformation rules or if the data does not meet the expected format, it can lead to requests being marked as incorrect.
  
  
  System Resource Limitations: Insufficient system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) can also lead to failures in processing requests.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Request Status: Review the status of the requests in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) to identify which requests are marked as incorrect.
  
  
  Analyze Error Logs: Use transaction RSMO (Monitor) or RSMO2 to check the detailed error logs for the requests. This will provide insights into what went wrong during processing.
  
  
  Reprocess Requests: If the issues are resolved, you can reprocess the requests. This can be done by selecting the incorrect requests and choosing the option to reprocess them.
  
  
  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: If the issue is related to parallel processing limits, consider adjusting the settings in the BW system to allow for more parallel processing or to manage the load better.
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks: Ensure that the data being loaded is consistent and meets the required formats. Perform checks on the source data to identify any discrepancies.
  
  
  System Resource Monitoring: Monitor system resources during data loading processes to ensure that there are enough resources available. If necessary, optimize the system or schedule data loads during off-peak hours.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the RSBK253 error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSMO (Process Chain Monitor), and RSMO2 (Process Chain Monitor - Detailed View).
  SAP BW Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and error handling.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and solutions shared by other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the RSBK253 error effectively.
