• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK171 - Request &1 has been flagged for non-deletion by routine ?

  The SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK171 indicates that a specific data request (identified by the request number &1) has been flagged for non-deletion by a routine. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes, particularly in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Data Integrity Rules: The request may have been flagged for non-deletion due to data integrity rules defined in the system. This can happen if the request is part of a data flow that is still active or if it is linked to other requests that are required for reporting or analysis.
  
  
  Custom Routines: If there are custom routines implemented in the data loading process, they may have logic that prevents the deletion of certain requests based on specific conditions.
  
  
  Data Locking: The request might be locked due to ongoing processes or transactions that are dependent on the data contained in that request.
  
  
  Error Handling: If there were errors during the data loading process, the system may flag the request to prevent deletion until the issues are resolved.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the request in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) or the relevant data loading monitor. Ensure that there are no active processes that depend on this request.
  
  
  Review Custom Routines: If there are custom routines involved in the data loading process, review the logic to understand why the request was flagged for non-deletion. You may need to adjust the routine if it is incorrectly preventing deletion.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data consistency check to ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data that could be causing the request to be flagged.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check the documentation or notes related to the specific data flow or process to understand any specific rules or conditions that may apply.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific configuration and customizations in your environment.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSMO (Monitor Data Load), and RSPC (Process Chain Maintenance) to monitor and manage data requests.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK171 for any patches or updates that may address known issues.
  Data Loading Best Practices: Review best practices for data loading in SAP BW or HANA to ensure that your processes are optimized and compliant with system requirements.
