• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDU_REPART733 - Reclustering request already initialized ?

  The SAP error message RSDU_REPART733: Reclustering request already initialized typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the reclustering process of InfoProviders, particularly when dealing with DataStore Objects (DSOs) or InfoCubes. This error indicates that a reclustering request has already been initialized and is still in process, preventing a new reclustering request from being started.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Processes: Another reclustering process is already running for the same InfoProvider, which can happen if multiple users or processes attempt to recluster simultaneously.
  Stale Locks: Sometimes, locks from previous processes may not have been released properly, leading to the system thinking that a reclustering request is still active.
  System Errors: Unexpected system errors or crashes during the reclustering process can leave the system in a state where it believes a reclustering request is still active.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction codes like SM66 (Global Work Process Overview) or SM50 (Work Process Overview) to check if there are any active processes related to the reclustering of the InfoProvider. If you find an active process, you may need to wait for it to complete or terminate it if it is stuck.
  
  
  Release Locks: If you suspect that stale locks are causing the issue, you can use transaction SM12 to check for and delete any locks related to the InfoProvider in question. Be cautious when deleting locks, as this can affect other users or processes.
  
  
  Reinitialize the Process: If the previous reclustering request has failed or is stuck, you may need to reinitialize the reclustering process. This can often be done by going to the relevant InfoProvider and attempting to start the reclustering again.
  
  
  Check Logs: Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about why the reclustering request is stuck. You can check the application logs using transaction SLG1.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, if the issue persists and you have the necessary permissions, a system restart may help clear any lingering processes or locks.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSD1 (InfoProvider Maintenance), and SLG1 (Application Log).
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Data Warehousing and InfoProvider management for best practices on managing reclustering processes.
