How To Fix RSPLS088 - Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSPLS - General Messages

• Message number: 088

• Message text: Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text)

What causes this issue?

Within a user context, you tried to set a lock request from BW-BPS and
then from BW Planning (or vice versa). As the respective applications
work with different buffers for the transaction data, they cannot both
be used simultaneously in a user context. This is because the determined
delta records in the respective buffer would lead to inconsistent data
in the database after saving: The determined deltas would cumulate.
Context information of the lock request:
The lock request can either come from BW Planning or from BW-BPS. The
context contains the following information:
BW Planning: <ZH>{InfoProvider}{query} </>for a lock request from a
query, <ZH>{InfoProvider}{planning function}{filter}</> for a lock
request from a planning function.
BW-BPS: <ZH>{planning area}{planning level}{planning package}{planning
function}{parameter group}.</> The following is valid for lock requests
from manual planning: Planning function = '0-MP' and the parameter group
is the techncal name of the planning layout.
The InfoProvider for the lock request is:
'&V1&'
The current BW-BPS context information is:
'&V2&'
The current BW Planning context information is:
'&V3&&V4&'

System Response

The data could not be locked.

How to fix this error?

Only use components from either BW-BPS or from BW Planning in a planning
application.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS088 - Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text) ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS088, which states "Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text)," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with data locking during a query execution or data processing task. This error can arise due to various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the same data, preventing your request from obtaining a lock.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold locks on the data, causing subsequent requests to fail.
  Lock Table Issues: The lock table may be full or not functioning correctly, leading to issues with acquiring locks.
  Database Issues: Problems with the underlying database, such as deadlocks or other locking mechanisms, can also lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the BW system or the underlying database can lead to locking issues.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check system logs) to identify if other users or processes are holding locks on the data you are trying to access.
  Wait and Retry: If the issue is due to concurrent access, waiting for a short period and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Optimize Long-Running Queries: If a specific query is taking too long, consider optimizing it to reduce the time it holds locks.
  Clear Locks: If you identify unnecessary locks, you can manually delete them using transaction SM12, but be cautious as this can affect other users.
  Check System Configuration: Review the configuration settings for your BW system and database to ensure they are set up correctly for locking mechanisms.
  Database Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance on the database to ensure it is functioning optimally and to prevent locking issues.
