• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK172 - Request &1 must not be deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK172 with the description "Request &1 must not be deleted" typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes, particularly when dealing with DataStore Objects (DSOs) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of a request that is still in use or has dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Active Requests: The request you are trying to delete is still active or has not been fully processed. This can happen if the request is still being used in a data flow or if it is part of a process chain that has not completed.
  Data Dependencies: The request may have dependencies on other requests or data objects, making it impossible to delete without affecting the integrity of the data.
  Process Chain Issues: If the request is part of a process chain that is currently running or has not been successfully completed, it cannot be deleted.
  Locking Issues: There may be locks on the request due to ongoing processes or transactions that prevent deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Requests: Verify if the request is still active. You can do this by checking the request status in the Data Warehousing Workbench or the relevant transaction codes (e.g., RSA1).
  Process Chain Status: If the request is part of a process chain, ensure that the process chain has completed successfully. If it is still running, wait for it to finish or terminate it if necessary.
  Remove Dependencies: If there are dependencies, you may need to remove or resolve them before attempting to delete the request.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSMO (Monitor Data Load) to monitor and manage requests.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the request and resolve them if necessary.
  Consult Logs: Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on why the request cannot be deleted.
