• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC263 - Action canceled by user ?

  The SAP error message RSEC263, which states "Action canceled by user," typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects when a user cancels an action that was in progress. This can happen during various operations, such as data loading, report generation, or when executing queries.
  Causes:
  
  User Intervention: The most straightforward cause is that the user manually canceled the action, either intentionally or accidentally.
