Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1681 - InfoPck. &1 can't execute request for DS &2, SS &3; Transfer tool running ?

  The SAP error message RSM1681 indicates that a request cannot be executed for a specific DataSource (DS) and InfoSource (SS) because the transfer tool is currently running. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the fact that the data transfer process is already in progress for the specified DataSource and InfoSource. This can happen if:
  
  A data load is currently being executed.
  A previous data load has not yet completed.
  There are multiple requests trying to access the same DataSource simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Running Processes:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM37 to check for any running jobs related to the data transfer. Look for jobs that are currently executing and see if they are related to the DataSource and InfoSource mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If you find that a data load is currently in progress, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to execute the request again.
  
  
  
  Cancel Stuck Jobs:
  
  If a job is stuck or taking too long, you may consider canceling it. You can do this in SM37 by selecting the job and choosing the cancel option.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Sometimes, locks can prevent the execution of requests. You can check for locks using transaction code SM12 to see if there are any locks on the DataSource or InfoSource.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the logs for the data transfer process to identify any issues that may have caused the process to hang or fail. You can do this in transaction RSA1 under the "Monitor" section.
  
  
  
  Retry the Request:
  
  Once you have ensured that no other processes are running, try executing the request again.

  Data Transfer Process: Understanding how data is transferred from source systems to SAP BW is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the data flow and the role of the transfer tool.
  Performance Tuning: If this error occurs frequently, consider reviewing the performance of your data load processes and optimizing them to reduce the likelihood of overlapping requests.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
