How To Fix RSM1148 - Request &1(&2) to be updated in DataStore &3 is smaller than request (&4)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSM1 - Messages for AWB, Scheduler and Monitor (new)

• Message number: 148

• Message text: Request &1(&2) to be updated in DataStore &3 is smaller than request (&4)

What causes this issue?

Request &V1&(&V2&) cannot be posted in DataStore object &V3&. This is
only possible when the correct sequence is adhered to.
Request &V4& has a smaller
<DS:GLOS.364F05CAFBD02AB1E10000009B38F982>master data ID</> (SID) than
request &V1&(&V2&), which already exists in the DataStore object.
Therefore, the DataStore object has been structured incorrectly.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If request &V1&(&V2&) is already active, delete this request &V1&(&V2&)
from the DataStore object and post request &V4& first and then request
&V1&(&V2&) again.
If request &V1&(&V2&) is not yet active, load request &V4&. The
activation process then sorts all requests that are not yet active into
the correct sequence when you activate them.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1148 - Request &1(&2) to be updated in DataStore &3 is smaller than request (&4) ?

  The SAP error message RSM1148 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the data request that is being processed and the data that is already present in the DataStore Object (DSO). Specifically, the error message states that the request you are trying to update is smaller than the existing request in the DataStore. This typically occurs during the data loading process in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Request Size Mismatch: The request you are trying to load into the DataStore is smaller than an existing request. This can happen if:
  
  The data being loaded is incomplete or has been filtered incorrectly.
  There is a mismatch in the data structure or key fields between the incoming data and the existing data in the DSO.
  The request you are trying to load has fewer records than the request that is already present.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the data has been modified after the initial load, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Request Size: Verify the size of the data request you are trying to load. Ensure that it contains all the necessary records and matches the structure of the existing data in the DSO.
  
  
  Review Data Transformation: If you are using transformations or filters during the data load, review them to ensure they are not inadvertently reducing the size of the data being loaded.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the DataStore Object to ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data. You can use transaction codes like RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and check the DSO.
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Existing Requests: If the existing request is not needed, you can delete it or adjust it to allow for the new request to be loaded. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect reporting or other processes relying on that data.
  
  
  Reprocess the Data Load: After making the necessary adjustments, try reprocessing the data load to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSMO (Monitor Data Load) to monitor and manage data loads.
  DataStore Object (DSO): Understand the structure and purpose of the DSO you are working with, as it plays a crucial role in data storage and reporting in SAP BW.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
