  • What causes this issue?

    Consistency checks have determined that the A version of the object is
    newer than the D version.
    This can cause problems in a Content development system.
    The Content developer does not see the object version that is delivered
    to the customer. The customer receives the D version of the object. The
    Content developer does not see this in maintenance but sees the A
    version instead.,,
    When Content is reinstalled, the A version is overwritten with a D
    version that could be incorrect.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    The BW system offers version comparison for some objects. Use version
    comparison to try and determine which object version is correct. If
    version comparison is not available, use the A version of the object to
    decide whether the object is valid or not.
    If the A version is the valid version, save and activate the object
    again so that a new D version is written. A transport popup will appear
    when you activate the object.
    If the D version is the valid version, install the object from the
    Content again in overwrite mode. To do this, contact the BI Content
    team. It is not possible to install Content with the normal
    authorization profile.
