• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1518 - Deletion of M version from DataStore object &2 terminated ?

  The SAP error message RSM1518 indicates that there was an issue when attempting to delete the M version (the "active" version) of a DataStore object (DSO) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically occurs during data management operations, such as data deletion or data loading processes.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Data Locking: The DataStore object may be locked by another process or user, preventing the deletion of the M version.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies or issues with the data in the DataStore object that prevent the deletion.
  System Errors: There could be underlying system issues, such as database connectivity problems or transaction log issues.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete data from the DataStore object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM1518 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the DataStore object. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the other processes to complete or manually release the locks if appropriate.
  
  
  Review Data Consistency: Ensure that the data in the DataStore object is consistent. You can use transaction code RSA1 to check the status of the DataStore object and perform any necessary data consistency checks.
  
  
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction code SM21) for any related error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete data from the DataStore object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure proper access rights.
  
  
  Retry the Operation: After addressing any locks, inconsistencies, or authorization issues, try to delete the M version of the DataStore object again.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SM12 (Display and Delete Locks), and SM21 (System Log).
  DataStore Object Management: Understanding how DataStore objects work in SAP BW, including the different versions (active, delta, etc.), can help in troubleshooting issues related to data management.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engaging with the SAP Community or forums can provide insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
