• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM2004 - Data request not confirmed ?

  The SAP error message RSM2004 "Data request not confirmed" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with data extraction or data loading processes. This error indicates that a data request has not been confirmed, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Data Transfer Issues: There may be problems with the data transfer from the source system to the BW system, such as network issues or connectivity problems.
  Data Request Status: The data request may be in a status that does not allow it to be confirmed, such as being in a "failed" state.
  Process Chain Errors: If the data loading is part of a process chain, there may be errors in previous steps that prevent the current request from being confirmed.
  Data Source Configuration: Incorrect configuration of the data source or extraction settings can lead to issues in data loading.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations for the user or process that is trying to confirm the data request.
  Data Quality Issues: Problems with the data itself, such as duplicates or inconsistencies, can prevent successful loading and confirmation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Transfer: Verify the connectivity and data transfer settings between the source system and the BW system. Ensure that there are no network issues.
