  The SAP error message RSM2026, which states "Do not update data immediately," typically occurs in the context of data updates in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with data extraction or data loading processes. This error is often related to the use of the SAP Data Warehousing (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects environments.
  Cause:
  The error message RSM2026 can be triggered by several factors, including:
