• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART361 - No PartProvider conversion can be (re)started ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART361 ("No PartProvider conversion can be (re)started") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the partitioning of data in InfoProviders, particularly when dealing with partitioned InfoCubes or DataStore Objects (DSOs).
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incomplete Configuration: The error can arise if the configuration for the partitioning of the InfoProvider is incomplete or incorrect.
  Data Load Issues: If there are issues with the data load process, such as failed data loads or inconsistencies in the data, it can prevent the conversion process from starting.
  Locking Issues: If the InfoProvider is locked or if there are ongoing processes that are preventing access to the data, this can lead to the error.
  Technical Issues: There may be underlying technical issues with the BW system, such as problems with the database or the BW application server.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the partitioning for the InfoProvider. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly defined.
  Monitor Data Loads: Check the status of data loads to the InfoProvider. If there are any failed loads, resolve those issues and ensure that the data is consistent.
  Release Locks: If the InfoProvider is locked, identify the process that is holding the lock and release it if possible. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  Reinitialize the PartProvider: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to reinitialize the PartProvider. This can be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) by navigating to the relevant InfoProvider and performing a reinitialization.
  Check for Notes and Patches: Look for any SAP Notes or patches that may address this specific error. Sometimes, SAP releases updates that fix known issues.
