• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM068 - Request &(&) is yellow or red in InfoCube &; cannot switch to planning ?

  The SAP error message RSM068 indicates that a request in an InfoCube is in a yellow or red status, which prevents switching to planning mode. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to perform planning activities on an InfoCube that has not been fully processed or has issues.
  Causes:
  
  Data Load Issues: The request may not have been successfully completed, leading to a yellow (in process) or red (error) status.
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the InfoCube from being used for planning.
  Request Status: The request might be in a state that does not allow planning, such as being in a "yellow" state due to ongoing processes or being "red" due to errors during data loading.
  Data Locking: There may be locks on the InfoCube that prevent it from being switched to planning mode.
  Aggregation Issues: If the InfoCube is set to aggregate data, and the aggregation process has not been completed, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Request Status: Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the status of the request. If it is yellow, it may still be processing; if red, there may be an error that needs to be resolved.
  Reprocess the Request: If the request is in a yellow or red state, you may need to reprocess it. You can do this by selecting the request and choosing the option to reprocess or delete and reload the request.
  Analyze Error Logs: If the request is red, check the error logs to identify the specific issue that caused the failure. This can be done in the Data Load Monitor (transaction RSMO).
  Data Consistency Check: Ensure that the data in the InfoCube is consistent. You can run consistency checks or repair processes if necessary.
  Remove Locks: If there are locks on the InfoCube, you may need to remove them. This can be done by checking the lock entries in transaction SM12 and deleting any unnecessary locks.
  Check Aggregation: If the InfoCube is set to aggregate data, ensure that the aggregation process has been completed successfully.
