• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDPP112 - Worklist &1 is locked by action &2 for data target &3(&4) ?

  The SAP error message RSDPP112 indicates that a worklist is locked due to an ongoing action on a specific data target. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A data target (like an InfoCube, DataStore Object, etc.) is currently being processed (e.g., data is being loaded or extracted).
  Another process is trying to access the same data target, which leads to a lock being placed on it to prevent data inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Locking Process:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the data target. You can filter by the user or the object type to find the specific lock.
  Look for the action that is causing the lock (indicated by &2 in the error message).
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the locking process is a legitimate data load or extraction, you may need to wait for it to complete. Monitor the process using transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSMO (Monitor Data Load).
  
  
  
  Terminate the Lock:
  
  If you determine that the locking process is stuck or needs to be terminated, you can delete the lock entry in SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the process is still running.
  
  
  
  Check for Long-Running Processes:
  
  Investigate if there are any long-running processes that could be optimized or scheduled during off-peak hours to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Review Process Chains:
  
  If the error occurs during a process chain execution, review the process chain for any dependencies or scheduling issues that might be causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: To view and manage lock entries.
  RSA1: To access the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  RSMO: To monitor data load processes.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Help Portal or SAP Notes for specific guidance related to your version of SAP BW/BI.
  
  
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Schedule data loads during off-peak hours to minimize locking issues.
  Regularly monitor and optimize long-running processes to prevent locks from occurring frequently.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the lock and take appropriate action to resolve the RSDPP112 error message.
