• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMK145 - The measure '&' is currently processed, and therefore cannot be activated ?

  The SAP error message UMK145 indicates that a measure (in this case, represented by the placeholder '&') is currently being processed and cannot be activated. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there are ongoing operations or dependencies that prevent the activation of the measure.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Processing: The measure is currently being processed in a data load or transformation job. This could be due to a data load that is still running or a process that is locking the measure.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the measure that need to be resolved before it can be activated. This could include other measures or objects that rely on it.
  Locks: The measure might be locked by another user or process, preventing any changes or activation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Processes: 
  
  Go to the process chain or data load monitor to check if there are any ongoing processes that involve the measure. If so, wait for these processes to complete.
  
  
  
  Release Locks: 
  
  If you suspect that the measure is locked, you can check for locks in the system. Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check system logs) to identify any issues.
  If you find locks, you may need to contact the user or process holding the lock to release it.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies: 
  
  Check if there are any dependent objects that need to be activated or processed first. Ensure that all related objects are in a consistent state.
  
  
  
  Retry Activation: 
  
  Once you have confirmed that there are no ongoing processes or locks, try to activate the measure again.
  
  
  
  System Restart: 
  
  In some cases, if the issue persists and you have the necessary permissions, a system restart may help clear any lingering locks or processes.
