• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_UI028 - Activation started. Switching to display mode. ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_UI028 ("Activation started. Switching to display mode.") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to activate a DataSource or InfoProvider, and the system is transitioning to display mode instead of completing the activation process.
  Cause:
  
  Long Activation Time: The activation process may take longer than expected, leading the system to switch to display mode.
  Locks or Conflicts: There may be locks on the objects being activated, or other processes may be conflicting with the activation.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or experiencing performance issues, it may not complete the activation in a timely manner.
  Errors in the DataSource or InfoProvider: There may be issues with the configuration or data model that prevent successful activation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Activation Status: Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench) and check the activation status of the DataSource or InfoProvider. If it is still in the process of activation, wait for it to complete.
  Review Logs: Check the activation logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong during the activation process. You can find logs in the transaction codes like RSA3 or RSMO.
  Release Locks: If there are locks on the objects, you may need to release them. You can use transaction SM12 to check for and delete any locks that may be causing the issue.
  System Performance: Monitor system performance using transaction ST03 or ST04. If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling the activation during off-peak hours.
  Re-activate: If the activation has failed, try to re-activate the DataSource or InfoProvider. Sometimes, simply attempting the activation again can resolve transient issues.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be known issues that have been resolved in later versions.
