• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS355 - Remote subscription &1 is active now (state: &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSDS355 indicates that a remote subscription is currently active, and it provides the state of that subscription. This message typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with remote data sources or subscriptions to data flows.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation on a remote subscription that is already active. This could happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Trying to delete or modify a remote subscription that is currently in use.
  Attempting to activate or deactivate a subscription while it is still processing or has not been properly terminated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDS355 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Subscription Status: Verify the current status of the remote subscription. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP BW (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench) and checking the status of the subscription.
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If the subscription is in a processing state, wait for it to complete. Once it is finished, you should be able to perform the desired operation.
  
  
  Terminate the Subscription: If the subscription appears to be stuck or is taking too long, you may need to terminate it. This can usually be done through the relevant transaction or by using administrative tools to stop the process.
  
  
  Check for Errors: Look for any underlying issues that may have caused the subscription to hang. Check logs and error messages in the system to identify any problems that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Re-try the Operation: Once the subscription is no longer active, you can re-attempt the operation that triggered the RSDS355 error.
