• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM180 - Request &1 is not activated completely; activate this first ?

  The SAP error message RSM180 indicates that a transport request (or a change request) has not been fully activated in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with transport requests that involve changes to objects in the SAP system, such as customizing settings, ABAP programs, or other development objects.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Activation: The transport request has been created and imported, but not all objects within the request have been activated.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on other requests or objects that need to be activated first.
  Transport Errors: There may have been errors during the import process that prevented the request from being fully activated.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Request: 
  
  Go to transaction code SE09 or SE10 (Transport Organizer).
  Find the transport request in question.
  Right-click on the request and select "Activate" or "Activate Objects".
  Ensure that all objects within the request are activated.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Review the transport request to see if there are any dependent requests that need to be activated first.
  Activate any prerequisite requests.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the transport logs for any errors that occurred during the import process. This can provide insight into what went wrong.
  Use transaction code ST22 (Dump Analysis) or SLG1 (Application Log) to check for any runtime errors.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to activate the transport request. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Re-import the Request:
