• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1618 - Data target &1 still includes delta request &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSM1618 indicates that a data target (such as an InfoCube or DataStore Object) still contains a delta request that has not been processed. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to delete or manage requests in the data target.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  There are still delta requests that have not been fully processed or loaded into the data target.
  You are attempting to delete or manage requests in a way that conflicts with the existing delta requests.
  The data target is locked or in a state that prevents further processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM1618 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Delta Requests: 
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the data target (InfoCube or DSO) and check the requests that are still in the delta queue.
  Ensure that all delta requests are processed. You can do this by loading the delta requests into the data target.
  
  
  
  Process Delta Requests:
  
  If there are pending delta requests, process them by executing the data load process for the delta requests.
  You can do this by selecting the delta requests and choosing to load them into the data target.
  
  
  
  Delete or Manage Requests:
  
  Once all delta requests are processed, you should be able to delete or manage requests without encountering the error.
  If you still need to delete requests, ensure that you are not trying to delete requests that are still in use.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the data target that might be preventing the processing of requests. You can check for locks using transaction code SM12.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on the issue.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Data Load:
  
  If the issue persists, consider reprocessing the entire data load process for the data target to ensure that all requests are correctly handled.
