• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS309 - Parsed DCL metadata and persisted DCL metadata differ ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS309 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the parsed Data Control Language (DCL) metadata and the persisted DCL metadata in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that utilize DCL for managing access control and authorization.
  Cause:
  
  Metadata Changes: The error often arises when there have been changes to the DCL definitions (like roles, authorizations, or other related configurations) that have not been properly updated or synchronized in the system.
  Transport Issues: If DCL objects were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), inconsistencies may occur if the transport did not include all necessary changes or if there were manual changes made in the target system.
  System Upgrades or Patches: Upgrading the SAP system or applying patches can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in metadata if the upgrade process does not handle DCL objects correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Re-activate DCL Objects: You can try to re-activate the DCL objects in the system. This can often resolve discrepancies between the parsed and persisted metadata.
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary) and re-activate the DCL objects.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and that there were no errors during the transport process.
  
  
  Consistency Check: Use transaction codes like SU25 (for authorization objects) or SU24 (for authorization checks) to perform consistency checks on the authorization objects and DCL definitions.
  
  
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve metadata discrepancies. You can do this by using transaction SICF to clear the cache for the relevant services.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help in refreshing the metadata and resolving the issue.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues related to DCL metadata.
  
  
  Related Information:
