• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODSO_ROLLBACK005 - Deletion started (process running under the user &1) ?

  The SAP error message RSODSO_ROLLBACK005 indicates that a deletion process has been initiated for a DataStore Object (DSO), and it is currently running under a specific user. This message typically arises in the context of data management within SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA environments.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A deletion request for data in a DSO is initiated, but the process is still running.
  Another user or process is trying to perform an operation on the same DSO, which can lead to conflicts.
  The system is trying to delete data that is currently being accessed or processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Process Status:
  
  Use transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs. Look for jobs related to the DSO deletion process and check their status.
  If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Identify the User:
  
  The error message indicates the user under which the deletion process is running. You can check the user’s activities to understand what operations are being performed.
  
  
  
  Terminate the Process (if necessary):
  
  If the deletion process is stuck or taking too long, you may consider terminating it. This can be done in transaction SM37 by selecting the job and choosing the option to cancel it.
  Be cautious when terminating processes, as this may lead to data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Retry the Deletion:
  
  Once the running process has completed or has been terminated, you can retry the deletion operation.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the DSO. If there are locks held by other users or processes, you may need to resolve those before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
