  The SAP error message RSDSO_ROLLBACK173 typically occurs during the process of saving a routine in the Data Warehousing environment, particularly when working with ABAP routines in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that there was a rollback during the save operation, which can be caused by various issues.
  Causes:
  
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the ABAP code of the routine that prevent it from being saved.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to save changes to the routine.
  Database Locking: The routine might be locked by another user or process, preventing the save operation.
  Transport Issues: If the routine is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport configuration or status.

  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify and save routines. Check the user roles and profiles.

  System Health: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any errors or warnings that might indicate underlying issues. If necessary, consult with your Basis team to resolve any system-related problems.
