• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1079 - InfoPackage & currently running; no further scheduling possible ?

  The SAP error message RSM1079 indicates that an InfoPackage is currently running, and as a result, no further scheduling of that InfoPackage is possible until the current execution is completed. This is a common issue in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when multiple processes are trying to access the same InfoPackage simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The InfoPackage is already being executed, either manually or through a scheduled job.
  Long Running Process: The current execution of the InfoPackage is taking longer than expected, which can happen due to large data volumes or performance issues.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent multiple instances of the same InfoPackage from running at the same time to ensure data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Processes:
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. Look for the InfoPackage job that is currently running.
  If the job is stuck or taking too long, you may need to analyze the logs or terminate the job if necessary.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the InfoPackage is running as expected, you may need to wait for it to complete before scheduling another run.
  
  
  
  Adjust Scheduling:
  
  If you frequently encounter this issue, consider adjusting the scheduling of your InfoPackages to avoid overlaps. You can schedule them at different times or intervals.
  
  
  
  Performance Tuning:
  
  If the InfoPackage is consistently taking too long, investigate the data volume and performance of the underlying queries or data sources. Optimize the data extraction process if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks that might be preventing the InfoPackage from completing. If you find any unnecessary locks, you can release them.
  
  
  
  Review System Resources:
  
  Ensure that your SAP BW system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle the data loads efficiently.

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM1079 error and manage your InfoPackages more effectively.
