• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM871 - Request not added successfully; Registry from PSA not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSM871 ("Request not added successfully; Registry from PSA not possible") typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system when there is an issue with the data transfer process from the PSA (Persistent Staging Area) to the InfoCube or DataStore Object (DSO). This error can arise due to various reasons, and here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data being transferred from the PSA to the target object, such as missing mandatory fields or incorrect data formats.
  
  
  Data Load Errors: Previous data load processes may have failed, leaving the PSA in an inconsistent state.
  
  
  Request Status: The request in the PSA may be in a status that does not allow it to be processed (e.g., it may be marked as "Error" or "Cancelled").
  
  
  Locking Issues: There may be locks on the target InfoCube or DSO that prevent the request from being added.
  
  
  Data Volume: The volume of data being processed may exceed system limits or performance thresholds.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the data flow or transformation rules that prevent successful data transfer.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency: Review the data in the PSA for any inconsistencies or errors. Ensure that all mandatory fields are populated and that data types are correct.
  
  
  Reprocess Failed Requests: If there are previous requests that failed, try to reprocess them. You can do this by going to the Data Warehousing Workbench and checking the status of the requests.
  
  
  Clear Locks: Check for any locks on the target InfoCube or DSO. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and delete locks if necessary.
  
  
  Monitor Data Volume: If the data volume is too high, consider breaking the load into smaller batches or optimizing the data load process.
  
  
  Check Transformation Rules: Review the transformation rules and data flow settings to ensure they are correctly configured.
  
  
  Use Transaction RSMO: You can use transaction RSMO to monitor and manage the data load process. This transaction provides insights into the status of requests and can help identify issues.
  
  
  Check for Notes and Patches: Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches that address specific issues. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes related to this error.
