• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM069 - Target & set to 'Planning Mode'- requests cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSM069 indicates that a request is in "Planning Mode," which means that it cannot be deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with data requests in the data warehouse.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Mode: The request is in a planning mode, which is a state where data is being planned or is expected to be planned. In this mode, the system prevents deletion to ensure data integrity.
  Active Requests: The request may be active or in use by a planning process, which also prevents deletion.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent changes to requests that are currently being processed or are part of an ongoing planning session.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Status: Verify if the request is indeed in planning mode. You can do this by checking the status of the request in the Data Warehousing Workbench or the relevant transaction code (like RSA1).
  End Planning Session: If the request is part of an active planning session, you may need to end that session or wait until it is completed before attempting to delete the request.
  Change Request Status: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can change the status of the request from planning mode to a state that allows deletion. This may involve using specific transaction codes or tools within SAP BW.
  Use Transaction RSRV: You can use transaction RSRV to check for inconsistencies in the requests and resolve them if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific instructions related to your version of SAP BW/BI, as the steps may vary.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSRV (Check for Consistency), and others that may help in managing requests.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions on requests, as some operations may be restricted based on user roles.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide context for the issue.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further assistance.
