  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMDM010 - Deletion is being performed in the background ?

    The SAP error message RSDMDM010, which states "Deletion is being performed in the background," typically occurs when a deletion operation is initiated for a master data object, but the process is still running in the background. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you attempt to delete a master data object that is currently being processed or when a previous deletion request has not yet completed.

    Cause:

    1. Background Processing: The deletion request is being processed in the background, and the system does not allow another deletion request for the same object until the first one is completed.
    2. Long-running Deletion Jobs: If the deletion job takes a long time to complete, it may lead to this error if you try to initiate another deletion.
    3. System Locking: The system may have locks in place that prevent further actions on the object until the current deletion is finished.

    Solution:

    1. Check Background Jobs:

      • Go to transaction code SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any jobs related to the deletion process and see if they are still running or if they have completed.
      • If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to finish.
    2. Monitor Job Status:

      • If the job has failed or is taking too long, you may need to analyze the job logs to understand the reason for the delay or failure.
      • You can also cancel the job if it is stuck and restart the deletion process.
    3. Wait and Retry:

      • If the deletion is still in progress, simply wait for it to complete before attempting to delete the object again.
    4. Check for Locks:

      • Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the object you are trying to delete. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before proceeding.
    5. Consult Logs:

      • Review the application logs (transaction code SLG1) for any additional information related to the deletion process that might help diagnose the issue.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM37: Monitor Background Jobs
      • SM12: Display and Manage Locks
      • SLG1: Application Log
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation for master data management and deletion processes to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
