How To Fix RSMDP898 - Parallel repair run canceled due to aggregates or BWA indexes

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSMDP - Master Data Processing

• Message number: 898

• Message text: Parallel repair run canceled due to aggregates or BWA indexes

What causes this issue?

The consistency check was terminated because aggregates or BWA indexes
exist that depend on the X or Y table of the characteristic &V1&. The
check was started in repair mode specifying a maximum package size. This
is not permitted because the required match following a repair cannot be
parallelized with dependent aggregates or BWA indexes.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Start the consistency check without specifying a maximum package size.
This ensures that only one data package is used for the repair.
If the X or Y table contains a large number of data records, it might be
necessary to restrict the amount of data to be analyzed by specifying a
SID value range. This prevents a storage overflow. In this case, perform
the consistency check several times for different SID value ranges in
order to cover the entire dataset.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMDP898 - Parallel repair run canceled due to aggregates or BWA indexes ?

  The SAP error message RSMDP898 indicates that a parallel repair run has been canceled due to issues related to aggregates or BWA (Business Warehouse Accelerator) indexes. This typically occurs in the context of data loading or processing in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are conflicts or issues with the data structures that are being used.
  Cause:
  
  
  Aggregates: The error may arise if there are aggregates that are being updated or processed while a parallel repair run is attempted. If the aggregates are locked or in use, the system cannot proceed with the repair.
  
  
  BWA Indexes: Similar to aggregates, if BWA indexes are being updated or are in a state that prevents access, the parallel repair run will be canceled. This can happen if the indexes are being rebuilt or if there are inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: The error can also occur due to concurrency issues where multiple processes are trying to access or modify the same data structures simultaneously.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on aggregates or BWA indexes. If you find any locks, you may need to wait for the processes holding the locks to complete or manually release them if appropriate.
  
  
  Monitor Processes: Use transaction SM66 to monitor active processes in the system. Identify any long-running processes that may be affecting the aggregates or BWA indexes.
  
  
  Sequential Execution: If possible, try to run the repair process sequentially rather than in parallel. This can help avoid conflicts with aggregates and indexes.
  
  
  Rebuild Indexes: If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the BWA indexes. This can be done through the relevant transaction codes or by using the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  Check for Consistency: Ensure that the data in the aggregates and BWA indexes is consistent. You may need to run consistency checks or repair processes to resolve any discrepancies.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that can resolve known issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SM12 (Lock Entries), SM66 (Global Work Process Overview), and RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to BW aggregates and BWA for best practices on managing and maintaining these structures.
  Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning for your BW system to minimize the likelihood of such errors occurring in the future.
