• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSD_TREX046 - Fill job for BWA index of InfoCube '&1' due to lock ?

  The SAP error message RSD_TREX046 indicates that a fill job for a BWA (Business Warehouse Accelerator) index of a specific InfoCube is unable to proceed due to a lock. This typically occurs when another process is currently accessing or modifying the InfoCube, preventing the fill job from acquiring the necessary locks to proceed.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processes: Another job or process is currently running that is accessing the same InfoCube, which leads to a lock being held on the object.
  Long-Running Transactions: If a transaction is taking longer than expected, it can hold the lock for an extended period, causing subsequent jobs to fail.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues or settings that lead to improper handling of locks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Lock:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the InfoCube. You can filter by the relevant user or object to find out which process is holding the lock.
  If you identify a long-running transaction that is not necessary, you may consider terminating it (with caution).
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the lock is held by a legitimate process that is expected to complete, you may need to wait for that process to finish before retrying the fill job.
  
  
  
  Check Job Scheduling:
  
  Review the scheduling of jobs to ensure that they do not overlap in a way that causes locking issues. Adjust the scheduling if necessary.
  
  
  
  Increase Lock Timeout:
  
  In some cases, you may want to consider increasing the lock timeout settings in the system configuration, but this should be done with caution and understanding of the implications.
  
  
  
  System Monitoring:
  
  Implement monitoring to track long-running jobs and locks to proactively manage and avoid such issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  SM37: To monitor job status and check for any jobs that may be causing locks.
  ST22: To check for dumps that may provide additional context on issues.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Notes and documentation related to BWA and InfoCube management for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: Regularly review and optimize the performance of your InfoCubes and associated processes to minimize locking issues.
