• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1469 - Selective deletion for data target & scheduled/started ?

  The SAP error message RSM1469 indicates that a selective deletion process for a data target has already been scheduled or started. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you attempt to initiate a selective deletion while another deletion process is still in progress.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Deletion Process: The most common cause of this error is that a selective deletion job is already running for the specified data target. SAP BW does not allow multiple deletion processes to run simultaneously for the same data target to maintain data integrity.
  Job Scheduling: The deletion job may have been scheduled but not yet completed, leading to this error when you try to initiate another deletion.
  System Lock: There may be a lock on the data target due to other processes or jobs that are currently accessing or modifying the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status: 
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 to check the status of the jobs. Look for any jobs related to selective deletion for the specific data target.
  If you find a job that is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete before initiating another deletion.
  
  
  
  Cancel Running Job: 
  
  If the job is stuck or taking too long, you can cancel it from the SM37 transaction. Be cautious when doing this, as it may affect data integrity.
  
  
  
  Review Job Logs: 
  
  Check the logs of the running job to understand why it might be taking longer than expected. This can provide insights into any issues that need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: 
  
  If the job is running normally, simply wait for it to complete before attempting to start a new selective deletion.
  
  
  
  System Lock Check: 
  
  If you suspect a lock issue, you can check for locks using transaction code SM12. Look for any locks related to the data target and resolve them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Selective Deletion: This is a process in SAP BW that allows you to delete specific data records from a data target based on certain criteria, rather than deleting all data.
  Data Integrity: SAP BW enforces rules to maintain data integrity, which is why it restricts concurrent deletion processes.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM37: Job Monitoring
  SM12: Lock Entries
  RSCONN01: Check for data target connections and status.
