• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOH003 - Error while writing to database table &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSOH003, which states "Error while writing to database table &1," typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data loading processes, particularly in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments. This error indicates that there was an issue when the system attempted to write data to a specified database table.
  Causes:
  
  Database Locking Issues: The target database table may be locked by another process, preventing the current operation from writing data.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user or process attempting to write to the database table may not have the necessary permissions.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data being written, such as data type mismatches or violations of constraints (e.g., primary key or foreign key constraints).
  Database Space Issues: The database may be out of space, preventing any new data from being written.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues with the database or the SAP system itself, such as connectivity problems or configuration errors.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Database Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the database table. If locks are found, determine if they can be released or if the process holding the lock can be terminated.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user or process has the necessary authorizations to write to the specified database table. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by reviewing role assignments.
  Data Validation: Review the data being written to ensure it adheres to the expected formats and constraints. Check for any data inconsistencies or violations.
  Database Space Management: Check the database for available space. If the database is full, you may need to increase the allocated space or archive old data.
  Review Logs and Traces: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) and system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  Technical Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or technical support for further investigation, especially if it involves deeper technical issues with the database or SAP system.
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to data extraction and loading processes, as well as best practices for managing database tables in SAP BW or HANA.
