• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCOPY030 - Original &1 &2 cannot be reused in the copy ?

  The SAP error message RSCOPY030 indicates that there is an issue with the copying process of a data object, typically in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). The message states that the original object (identified by &1 and &2) cannot be reused in the copy operation. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Object Locking: The original object may be locked by another process or user, preventing it from being reused.
  Incompatible Object Types: The source and target objects may not be compatible for copying. For example, trying to copy a query to a different type of query or InfoProvider.
  Missing Dependencies: The original object may have dependencies (like InfoObjects, InfoProviders, etc.) that are not available or are inconsistent.
  Incorrect Object Status: The original object might be in a status that does not allow it to be copied (e.g., it might be in a "deleted" or "inactive" state).
  Transport Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport status or the transport itself.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Locking: Ensure that the original object is not locked. You can check this in transaction SM12 (for lock entries) and release any locks if necessary.
  Verify Compatibility: Ensure that the source and target objects are compatible for copying. Review the object types and ensure they match.
  Check Dependencies: Make sure that all dependencies of the original object are available and consistent. You may need to activate or create missing dependencies.
  Review Object Status: Check the status of the original object in transaction RSA1 (for BW objects) or the relevant transaction for the object type. If the object is inactive or deleted, you may need to reactivate it or create a new version.
  Transport Request: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly released and that there are no issues with the transport logs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SM12 (Lock Entries).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the RSCOPY030 error. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the specific objects you are working with, as there may be specific guidelines for copying them.
