Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM2172 - DM inflow check for DTA &1. Highest reducible request is request &2(&3). ?

  The SAP error message RSM2172 indicates an issue related to the Data Transfer Process (DTP) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, it refers to a problem with the inflow check for a DTA (Data Transfer Area) during the data loading process. The message provides information about the highest reducible request that is causing the issue.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data being loaded, which prevents the DTP from processing the request.
  Request Status: The request that is being processed may be in a status that does not allow it to be reduced or processed further.
  Data Volume: The volume of data being processed may exceed the limits set in the DTP or the system configuration.
  Locking Issues: There may be locks on the data that prevent the DTP from accessing it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM2172 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Request Status:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1) and check the status of the requests involved. Ensure that the requests are in a status that allows them to be processed (e.g., "Green" status).
  
  
  
  Analyze Data:
  
  Review the data being loaded for any inconsistencies or errors. You can use the Data Monitor (transaction code RSMO) to analyze the data and identify any issues.
  
  
  
  Reduce the Request:
  
  If the request is too large, consider breaking it down into smaller requests. You can do this by using the "Reduce" function in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the data that may be preventing the DTP from processing. If you find any locks, you may need to release them.
  
  
  
  Re-run the DTP:
  
  After addressing any issues, try re-running the DTP to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Check DTP Settings:
  
  Review the settings of the DTP to ensure that they are configured correctly. Pay attention to the "Data Transfer" and "Error Handling" settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the application logs (transaction code SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
