• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSSM_TT018 - ODSO &1 contains request &2 which is not active; activate the request ?

  The SAP error message RSSM_TT018 indicates that there is an issue with a request in an Operational Data Store (ODS) that is not active. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to access or process data that has not been activated yet.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The request (data load) in the ODS is not activated. In SAP BW, data requests must be activated before they can be used for reporting or further processing.
  The request might have been loaded but not successfully activated due to various reasons, such as errors during the data load process or manual intervention.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to activate the request in the ODS. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the ODS:
  
  Go to the SAP BW system and navigate to the ODS object that contains the request.
  
  
  
  Open the Data Warehousing Workbench:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to open the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Locate the ODS Object:
  
  In the Data Warehousing Workbench, find the ODS object in the "Data Models" section.
  
  
  
  View the Requests:
  
  Right-click on the ODS object and select "Manage" or "Display Data" to view the requests associated with it.
  
  
  
  Activate the Request:
  
  Find the specific request (identified by the request number &2 in the error message) that is not active.
  Right-click on the request and select "Activate" or "Activate Request" to activate it.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  If the activation fails, check the logs for any errors that may have occurred during the data load process. You may need to resolve these issues before the request can be activated successfully.
  
  
  
  Reprocess if Necessary:
  
  If the request cannot be activated due to underlying issues, you may need to reprocess the data load to ensure that it completes successfully.
