Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO787 - Object &1 of request &2 already fully processed; 'LOCKFLAG = 3' ?

  The SAP error message RSO787 indicates that the object you are trying to process (in this case, a request) has already been fully processed, and it is locked with a specific flag (LOCKFLAG = 3). This typically occurs in the context of data extraction or loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or similar environments.
  Cause:
  
  Object Already Processed: The request you are trying to process has already been completed successfully, and the system has marked it as fully processed.
  Locking Mechanism: The LOCKFLAG = 3 indicates that the object is in a state where it cannot be processed again because it is locked. This could be due to a previous job that has already completed or is still in the process of being finalized.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple processes are trying to access the same object simultaneously, it can lead to locking issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the request in the Data Warehousing Workbench or the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1). If the request is already processed, you may not need to reprocess it.
  Unlock the Object: If you need to reprocess the request, you may need to unlock it. This can typically be done by:
  
  Using transaction RSA1 to navigate to the request and check its status.
  If necessary, you can delete or manage the request through the appropriate options in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  Reprocess the Request: If the request needs to be reprocessed, ensure that it is in a state that allows for reprocessing. You may need to delete the request and re-run the data load.
  Check for Running Jobs: Ensure that no other jobs are currently running that might be locking the object. You can check the job overview in transaction SM37 to see if there are any jobs that might be causing the lock.
  Consult Logs: Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the object is locked.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SM37 (Job Monitoring), and RSPC (Process Chain Maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, specific versions of SAP BW may have bugs that are addressed in later updates.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on managing data loads and understanding locking mechanisms in BW.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW support team for further assistance.
