• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA468 - The archiving request & contains locked data but is not yet confirmed ?

  The SAP error message RSDA468 indicates that an archiving request contains locked data and has not yet been confirmed. This typically occurs in the context of data archiving processes in SAP, particularly when using the Data Archiving (DA) functionality.
  Cause:
  
  Locked Data: The archiving request is trying to archive data that is currently locked by another process or user. This can happen if the data is being accessed or modified, preventing the archiving process from proceeding.
  Unconfirmed Request: The archiving request has not been confirmed, which means that the system is still waiting for the necessary actions to be completed before it can finalize the archiving process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDA468 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the data that you are trying to archive. Look for entries related to the archiving request and identify the user or process that is holding the lock.
  If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can release them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Confirm the Archiving Request:
  
  If the archiving request is in a state that requires confirmation, you can confirm it using transaction code SARA. Navigate to the relevant archiving object and confirm the request.
  Ensure that all prerequisites for confirming the request are met.
  
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs:
  
  If the archiving process is running as a background job, check the job status in transaction code SM37. Look for any jobs related to the archiving request and see if they are still running or if they have failed.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the application logs for any additional information related to the archiving process. You can use transaction code SLG1 to view logs for the archiving object in question.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for the specific archiving object you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. Provide them with the error message and any relevant details about the archiving request.
