  The SAP error message RSEC285, which states "Changes not saved," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there are issues related to authorization or data integrity while trying to save changes in the system. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the object (e.g., InfoObject, Query, etc.) they are trying to modify.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data being processed, which prevents the system from saving changes.
  Locking Issues: The object being modified might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes from being saved.
  Technical Errors: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or system configuration.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to modify the object. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  If necessary, request additional authorizations from the system administrator.
  
  
  
  Review Data Integrity:
  
  Check for any data inconsistencies or errors that might be causing the issue. This may involve validating the data being processed or reviewing logs for any error messages.
  If there are issues with the data, resolve them before attempting to save changes again.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the object being modified. If another user or process is locking the object, coordinate with them to release the lock.
  If necessary, you can also delete the lock entries (with caution) if you have the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Technical Troubleshooting:
  
  If the issue persists, check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any technical errors that might provide more insight into the problem.
  Consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying technical issues with the database or system configuration.
