• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBPCR_EXCEPTION106 - Resource of type &1 cannot be shared with other users ?

  The SAP error message RSBPCR_EXCEPTION106 indicates that a resource of a specific type (denoted by &1) cannot be shared with other users. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects when multiple users attempt to access or utilize the same resource simultaneously, and the system is configured to prevent such sharing.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Locking: The resource (like a query, report, or data source) is locked by another user or process, preventing concurrent access.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict sharing of certain resources to ensure data integrity or performance.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the resource, leading to the error when trying to share it.
  Session Management: If a user has an active session that is holding onto a resource, other users may be blocked from accessing it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Resource Locking: Identify if the resource is currently locked by another user. You can do this by checking the transaction logs or using transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to see if the resource is being held.
  Release Locks: If you find that a resource is locked, you may need to wait for the other user to finish or, if appropriate, release the lock manually (ensure you have the necessary authorizations to do so).
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to resource sharing in your SAP BW or BusinessObjects environment. Adjust settings if necessary to allow sharing.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the correct permissions to access the resource. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Session Management: If the issue is related to session management, consider logging out and logging back in, or clearing any active sessions that may be holding onto the resource.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to view and manage lock entries), SU01 (to manage user authorizations), and RSRT (to execute queries).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on resource management and user access in BW or BusinessObjects environments.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or BW support team for further assistance.
