How To Fix RSO449 - Object catalog of last imported object &1 is being used

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSO - BW Repository

• Message number: 449

• Message text: Object catalog of last imported object &1 is being used

What causes this issue?

The current object is local and was created by the import of source
system-dependent object '&v1&'. Local objects are assigned to package
'$TMP'.

System Response

As the object is local in the system, the object catalog entry of the
imported object is displayed.
For this object to be transported, a package must be assigned in the
object catalog entry.

How to fix this error?

If this object is changed, package '&v3&' of imported object '&v2&' is
taken. The previously local object is therefore converted to a
transportable object.

Procedure for System Administrators

Due to technical restrictions, the package of a local object can only be
changed in change mode.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO449 - Object catalog of last imported object &1 is being used ?

  The SAP error message RSO449 indicates that there is an issue with the object catalog of the last imported object, specifically that it is currently in use. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to perform operations such as deleting or modifying an object that is still being referenced or utilized by other processes or objects.
  Cause:
  
  Object in Use: The object you are trying to modify or delete is currently being used by another process, such as a query, report, or data flow.
  Active Sessions: There may be active sessions or transactions that are referencing the object.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent changes to objects that are currently in use, which can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependencies: Check which objects or processes are using the object in question. You can use transaction codes like RSO1 (for InfoObjects) or RSA1 (for Data Warehousing Workbench) to analyze dependencies.
  Terminate Sessions: If you find active sessions that are using the object, you may need to terminate those sessions. This can be done using transaction SM12 to view and delete locks.
  Wait for Completion: If the object is being used in a long-running process, you may need to wait until that process completes before attempting to modify or delete the object.
  Check for Background Jobs: Look for any background jobs that might be using the object. You can check this in transaction SM37.
  Re-import the Object: If the object is corrupted or if the issue persists, consider re-importing the object after ensuring that it is not in use.
