• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TDL_DAO124 - Error reading from BI: transactional InfoCube not in write-mode ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TDL_DAO124 indicates that there is an issue with reading data from a Business Intelligence (BI) InfoCube, specifically that the InfoCube is not in write mode. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to write or update data in a transactional InfoCube that is currently set to read-only mode.
  Cause:
  
  
  InfoCube Status: The InfoCube may be in a read-only state due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The InfoCube is being used for reporting purposes and is locked for updates.
  The InfoCube is in a state of being loaded or processed, which prevents any write operations.
  The InfoCube is configured to be read-only in the system settings.
  
  
  
  Data Locking: There may be active data locking mechanisms in place that prevent writing to the InfoCube.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or process attempting to write to the InfoCube may not have the necessary authorizations to perform write operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoCube Status:
  
  Verify the status of the InfoCube in the SAP BW/BI system. Ensure that it is not in a loading state or locked for updates.
  If the InfoCube is in a read-only state, you may need to change its status to allow write operations.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If there are locks on the InfoCube, you may need to release them. This can be done by checking the transaction SM12 (for lock entries) and removing any unnecessary locks.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or process has the necessary authorizations to write to the InfoCube. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Processes:
  
  Look for any active data loading processes that might be locking the InfoCube. You can check transaction RSMO (for monitoring data loads) to see if there are any ongoing processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoCube and the error message for any additional troubleshooting steps or configuration settings.
