• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA_MON498 - Only confirmed requests can be merged. Current state: &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDA_MON498 indicates that there is an issue with merging data requests in the Data Warehousing environment, specifically in the context of DataStore Objects (DSOs) or InfoProviders. The message states that only confirmed requests can be merged, and it provides the current state of the request that is being processed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to merge requests that are not in a "confirmed" state. In SAP BW (Business Warehouse), requests must be confirmed before they can be merged. The possible states of requests include:
  
  New: The request has been created but not yet processed.
  In Process: The request is currently being processed.
  Confirmed: The request has been successfully processed and is ready for further actions, such as merging.
  
  If the request is in any state other than "Confirmed," you will encounter this error when trying to perform a merge operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Request Status: Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench or the relevant transaction (like RSA1) and check the status of the requests you are trying to merge. Ensure that all requests are in the "Confirmed" state.
  
  
  Process Pending Requests: If you find any requests that are not confirmed, you need to process them. This can involve:
  
  Running the data load again to ensure that the requests are processed successfully.
  Checking for any errors in the data load process that may have prevented the requests from being confirmed.
  
  
  
  Review Load Process: If the requests are stuck in a state other than confirmed, review the load process for any issues. Check for:
  
  Data quality issues.
  System performance issues.
  Any locks or errors in the system that may be preventing the requests from being confirmed.
  
  
  
  Manual Confirmation: In some cases, you may need to manually confirm the requests if they are stuck. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench or relevant transaction codes.
  
  
  Consult Logs: If the issue persists, consult the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into why the requests are not being confirmed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSMO (Monitor Data Load), and SLG1 (Application Log).
