SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSPLS - General Messages

• Message number: 094

• Message text: More than 2 versions of area instance &1 in lock server (-> long text)

What causes this issue?

Locks for the transaction data are managed in the shared objects memory
with area name <ZH>CL_RSPLS_ENQ_AREA</>. For a lock request, area
instance '&V1&' has to be accessed (this is also the name of the basis
InfoProvider). A third version of this area instance is to be generated
although only two versions are allowed.
A second version of the area instance is only build temporarily when the
lock table is accessed. After this has been accessed, there is only one
version again.
This situation should not arise.

System Response

Transaction data for InfoProvider '&V1&' cannot be locked.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS094 - More than 2 versions of area instance &1 in lock server (-> long text) ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS094 indicates that there are more than two versions of an area instance in the lock server. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and can be related to issues with the data model or the way data is being processed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Versions: The error arises when there are multiple versions of the same area instance (e.g., InfoProvider, query, etc.) being processed simultaneously. This can happen due to concurrent requests or processes that are trying to access or modify the same data.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity during processing. If there are too many versions of an area instance, it can lead to conflicts and the system raises this error to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Long Running Processes: If there are long-running processes that hold locks on the area instance, it can prevent other processes from accessing it, leading to the accumulation of multiple versions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check locks) and SM66 (to monitor active processes) to identify any long-running or stuck processes that may be holding locks on the area instance.
  Terminate Unnecessary Processes: If you find any unnecessary or stuck processes, consider terminating them to release the locks. Be cautious when doing this, as it may affect ongoing operations.
  Review Data Load Processes: If the error occurs during data loading, review the data load processes to ensure they are not overlapping or causing conflicts. Consider scheduling them to run sequentially if necessary.
  Increase Lock Server Capacity: If the issue persists, you may need to review the configuration of the lock server and consider increasing its capacity or optimizing the locking strategy.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12, SM66, and RSRT (for query monitoring) to help diagnose and resolve issues related to locks and queries.
  SAP BW Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on managing InfoProviders and queries to avoid conflicts and ensure efficient data processing.
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and locking behavior to proactively identify and resolve potential issues before they lead to errors.
