What causes this issue?

The conversion of a standard InfoCube with star schema to a flat
InfoCube cannot be performed and you want to reset the conversion
request. However, it is not possible to reset the conversion request.
This can happen under the following circumstances:
The conversion failed in step "Empty dimension and fact tables of
InfoCube <InfoCube name>" or a later step. Conversions that fail in
these steps cannot be reset because the original data of the InfoCube
has already been deleted.
When conversion request is being reset, an error occurs, which means
that the reset operation cannot be completed. The following errors can
occur:
The metadata of the InfoCube could not be read.
The renamed package dimension table could not be renamed back to the
original package dimension table name.
The renamed validity table of a non-cumulative InfoCube could not be
renamed back to the original validity table name.

System Response

The error message "Conversion request could not be reset" is shown.

How to fix this error?

If the conversion that you want to reset failed in step "Empty dimension
and fact tables of InfoCube <InfoCube name>" or a later step, try to
restart the failed conversion.
If resetting the conversion request fails, try to reset the conversion
request again. If the problem persists, open a customer incident for
component BW-SYS-DB <your database>.
