• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1502 - Data target &1 has not yet retrieved request &2. No compression allowed ?

  The SAP error message RSM1502 indicates that a data target (such as an InfoCube or DataStore Object) has not yet retrieved a specific request, and as a result, no compression can be performed on that data target. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to compress data in a data target that has not yet processed all the data requests.
  Cause:
  
  Unprocessed Requests: The specific request (identified by &2) has not been fully processed or loaded into the data target (identified by &1). Compression cannot occur until all requests are successfully loaded.
  Data Load Issues: There may be issues with the data load process, such as errors during the extraction, transformation, or loading (ETL) phases.
  Request Status: The request may be in a status that does not allow for compression, such as being in a "new" or "in process" state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Status: Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1) and check the status of the request in the data target. Ensure that the request has been successfully loaded.
  Load Missing Requests: If the request has not been loaded, you may need to reprocess the data load for that request. This can be done through the process chain or manually loading the data.
  Monitor Data Load: Ensure that there are no errors in the data load process. Check the logs for any issues that may have occurred during the data loading.
  Data Target Maintenance: If necessary, perform maintenance on the data target to ensure it is in a healthy state. This may include checking for inconsistencies or performing a repair if needed.
  Retry Compression: Once the request has been successfully loaded and processed, you can attempt to compress the data target again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSMO (Monitor Data Load), and RSCAT (Data Target Maintenance) to manage and monitor data loads and targets.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and compression processes to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM1502 error and successfully compress your data target.
