• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK168 - Run of routine &1 for request &2 ended with return code &3 ?

  The SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK168 indicates that a routine in the data extraction process has failed, resulting in a rollback of the request. This error typically occurs during the data loading process in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a transformation routine encounters an issue.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Data Quality Issues: The data being processed may contain invalid or unexpected values that the routine cannot handle.
  Coding Errors: There may be a bug or logical error in the ABAP code of the transformation routine.
  Performance Issues: The routine may be timing out or running into memory issues due to large data volumes.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the transformation or data source configuration can lead to failures.
  Database Constraints: Violations of database constraints (like primary key or foreign key constraints) can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDSO_ROLLBACK168 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Error Log: Review the detailed error log in the SAP BW system to identify the specific cause of the failure. You can find this in the process chain or in the data load monitor (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  Debug the Routine: If you have access to the ABAP code of the transformation routine, you can debug it to identify any logical errors or exceptions that are being raised.
  
  
  Data Validation: Validate the data being loaded to ensure it meets the expected format and constraints. Look for any anomalies or unexpected values.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: If the routine is timing out, consider optimizing the code or breaking the data load into smaller chunks.
  
  
  Check Transformation Settings: Ensure that the transformation settings are correctly configured, including mapping and field assignments.
  
  
  Database Constraints: Review the database schema to ensure that the data being loaded does not violate any constraints.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the routine with a smaller set of data to isolate the issue.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSMO (Monitor Data Load) to monitor and analyze data loads.
  SAP BW Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on data extraction and transformation routines.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or SAP support for additional insights and shared experiences from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the underlying issue causing the RSDSO_ROLLBACK168 error.
