• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA295 - Writer for ADK archiving session &1 opened ?

  The SAP error message RSDA295 indicates that a writer for an ADK (Archive Development Kit) archiving session has been opened. This message typically occurs when there is an issue with the archiving process in SAP, particularly when trying to manage or close an archiving session.
  Cause:
  
  Open Archiving Session: The error usually means that there is an active archiving session that has not been properly closed. This can happen if the archiving process was interrupted or if there are multiple processes trying to access the same session.

  System Errors: There may be underlying system errors or inconsistencies in the database that affect the archiving process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction code SARA to check for any active archiving sessions. If you find an open session that should not be active, you may need to close it.
  Close the Session: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can try to close the session manually. This can often be done through the same transaction (SARA) or by using the appropriate function module.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks related to the archiving session. If you find locks that are preventing the session from closing, you may need to delete them.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for the ADK and the specific archiving object are correct. This includes checking the settings in transaction SARA and ensuring that the necessary parameters are set.
