• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1065 - Init. selection overlap with request &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSM1065, which states "Init. selection overlap with request &1," typically occurs in the context of data extraction from SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or during the initialization of a data source. This error indicates that the initialization selection criteria you are using overlap with an existing request in the data target, which can lead to data inconsistencies or duplication.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Data Ranges: The initialization selection criteria you have defined for the data extraction overlap with the data that has already been loaded into the target InfoProvider or data target.
  Request Already Exists: There is already a request in the data target that contains data for the same time period or key figures that you are trying to initialize.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in the initialization process may not be set correctly, leading to overlaps.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Requests: Go to the data target (e.g., InfoCube, DSO) and check the existing requests. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoProvider and reviewing the requests that have already been loaded.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Modify the selection criteria for the initialization to ensure that it does not overlap with existing requests. This may involve changing the date range or other key fields.
  Delete Existing Requests: If the existing requests are not needed, you can delete them to allow the new initialization to proceed without overlap. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data loss if the requests contain important data.
  Use Delta Load: If applicable, consider using a delta load instead of a full initialization. Delta loads only extract the changes since the last successful load, which can help avoid overlaps.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific data source and InfoProvider you are working with for any additional guidance or best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage data targets and requests.
  Monitoring: Use transaction RSMO to monitor data loads and check for any errors or warnings related to your data extraction process.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
