• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1159 - There is no data target able to accept the second init. ?

  The SAP error message RSM1159, "There is no data target able to accept the second init," typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error indicates that the system is unable to find a suitable data target for a second initialization of a data source.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Target Configuration: The data target (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) may not be configured to accept a second initialization. In SAP BW, certain data targets are designed to accept only one initialization.
  
  
  Initialization Status: The data target may already have an initialization that has not been completed or has errors, preventing further initializations.
  
  
  Data Source Settings: The data source may not be set up correctly to allow for a second initialization. This could be due to settings in the data source or the data target.
  
  
  Data Transfer Process (DTP): The DTP may not be configured correctly to handle multiple initializations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Target Settings: 
  
  Go to the data target in the SAP BW system and check its settings. Ensure that it is configured to allow multiple initializations if that is required for your process.
  
  
  
  Complete or Reset Initialization:
  
  If there is an ongoing initialization, ensure it is completed successfully. If it has failed, you may need to reset the initialization process.
  You can do this by going to the relevant data target and checking the status of the initialization. If necessary, delete the existing initialization and start a new one.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source Configuration:
  
  Check the data source settings in the SAP BW system. Ensure that it is set up correctly to allow for a second initialization.
  
  
  
  Check DTP Settings:
  
  Review the Data Transfer Process (DTP) settings to ensure that it is configured to handle multiple initializations. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for this.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
