• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPC112 - Function cannot be executed in display mode ?

  The SAP error message RSPC112, which states "Function cannot be executed in display mode," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a process chain or a related function in a mode that does not allow for execution, such as display mode. This error is common in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and process chains.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user is trying to run a process chain or a specific function (like a data load or process) while in display mode. In display mode, the system does not allow any changes or execution of processes, as it is intended for viewing data and configurations only.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should switch from display mode to change mode. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Change Mode: 
  
  Navigate to the transaction where you encountered the error (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Look for an option to switch to change mode. This is usually done by clicking on a button or menu item labeled "Change" or "Edit."
  Once in change mode, you should be able to execute the process chain or function without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to execute the process chain. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator to grant you the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Review Process Chain Settings: 
  
  If you are still facing issues, review the settings of the process chain to ensure that it is correctly configured and that there are no other restrictions preventing execution.
