• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM529 - Request & found; not yet finished ?

  The SAP error message RSM529 ("Request & found; not yet finished") typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system when dealing with data requests in the data warehouse. This error indicates that a data request has been found in the system, but it has not yet been completed or processed fully.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Data Load: The data request may be in a state where it has not finished loading data into the target InfoProvider.
  Long Running Requests: The request may be taking longer than expected due to large volumes of data or performance issues.
  Locking Issues: There may be locks on the data that prevent the request from completing.
  Errors in Previous Requests: If there were errors in previous requests, it might cause subsequent requests to be stuck in a pending state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Status: Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the status of the request. If it is still processing, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  Monitor Process Chains: If the request is part of a process chain, check the status of the entire process chain to see if there are any issues.
  Review Logs: Look at the logs for the data load process to identify any errors or warnings that might indicate why the request is not finishing.
  Cancel or Delete Stuck Requests: If a request is stuck and not progressing, you may need to cancel or delete it. This can be done in the request monitor (transaction RSA1) or using the appropriate BW transaction codes.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be preventing the request from completing. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can release them.
  Performance Tuning: If the issue is related to performance, consider optimizing the data load process, such as adjusting the batch size or improving the underlying database performance.
