• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLDW012 - Rows were marked for update ?

  The SAP error message SLDW012 indicates that rows in a database table were marked for update but the update process was not completed successfully. This can occur in various scenarios, often related to issues with data consistency, locking, or transaction management.
  Causes:
  
  Database Locking: Another transaction may have locked the rows, preventing the current transaction from completing the update.
  Transaction Rollback: If a previous operation in the same transaction failed, it may have caused the current update to be marked but not executed.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be issues with the data being updated, such as constraints being violated.
  Network Issues: Connectivity problems between the application server and the database can lead to incomplete transactions.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the update may not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the database table. If locks are found, you may need to wait for the other transaction to complete or resolve the lock.
  Review Transaction Logs: Check the transaction logs to identify any previous errors that may have caused the update to fail.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being updated meets all constraints and requirements of the database schema.
  Retry the Operation: If the issue was transient (e.g., a temporary lock), retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the update operation.
  Database Health Check: Perform a health check on the database to ensure it is functioning correctly and there are no underlying issues.
