Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMPC067 - Request &1 is already compressed in InfoCube &2. Deletion not possible. ?

  The SAP error message RSMPC067 indicates that a request (data load) you are trying to delete from an InfoCube has already been compressed. In SAP BW (Business Warehouse), data compression is a process that consolidates data in an InfoCube to optimize storage and improve query performance. Once data is compressed, it cannot be deleted in the same way as uncompressed data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The request you are trying to delete has already undergone the compression process.
  Compressed requests cannot be deleted directly; they are part of the compressed data structure in the InfoCube.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you have a few options:
  
  
  Decompress the InfoCube:
  
  If you need to delete specific requests, you can decompress the InfoCube. This will revert the InfoCube to a state where the individual requests can be managed (deleted).
  To decompress, you can use the transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench, navigate to the InfoCube, and find the option to decompress.
  
  
  
  Delete the entire compressed data:
  
  If you want to remove all data from the InfoCube, you can delete the entire compressed data. This will remove all requests, but be cautious as this action is irreversible.
  Use the transaction code RSA1, navigate to the InfoCube, and choose the option to delete the data.
  
  
  
  Manage Data Requests:
  
  If you only need to manage specific requests, consider using the Data Warehousing Workbench to analyze the requests and determine if you can work with the existing compressed data or if you need to load new data.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies on the data you are trying to delete. Sometimes, other processes or reports may rely on the data in the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Compression Process: Understand how the compression process works in SAP BW and its implications on data management.
  Data Management Best Practices: Familiarize yourself with best practices for managing data in InfoCubes, including regular maintenance and monitoring of data loads.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  Conclusion:
  In summary, the RSMPC067 error indicates that the request you are trying to delete is already compressed. To resolve this, you can either decompress the InfoCube or delete the entire compressed data, depending on your requirements. Always ensure to back up any critical data before performing deletions or compressions.
