• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1083 - Last two requests were repeat; background request terminated ?

  The SAP error message RSM1083, which states "Last two requests were repeat; background request terminated," typically occurs in the context of background job processing in SAP, particularly when using the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error indicates that the system has detected that the last two requests processed were identical, leading to the termination of the background job to prevent unnecessary processing.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Requests: The most common cause of this error is that the same data extraction or loading request has been submitted multiple times in a short period. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual re-execution of a job that is already running.
  A scheduling issue where the same job is scheduled to run multiple times without proper intervals.
  A failure in the previous job that led to a retry of the same job.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: Sometimes, the system configuration or settings related to job scheduling and execution can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status: 
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 to check the status of the background jobs. Look for any jobs that are currently running or have failed.
  If you find that the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete or terminate it if it is stuck.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Submissions: 
  
  Ensure that you are not manually submitting the same job multiple times. If you need to rerun a job, check its status first.
  Review the scheduling of jobs to ensure that they are not set to run too frequently.
  
  
  
  Adjust Job Scheduling: 
  
  If the job is scheduled to run at short intervals, consider adjusting the schedule to allow sufficient time for completion before the next run.
  
  
  
  Review Job Logs: 
  
  Check the job logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the job was terminated.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: 
  
  If this issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration settings related to background processing and job scheduling. Consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator for assistance.
