• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_ERMS_CAT_MSG039 - Validity interval masks out another released schema version completely ?

  The SAP error message CRM_ERMS_CAT_MSG039 indicates that there is an issue with the validity interval of a schema version in the SAP CRM system. Specifically, it means that the validity interval defined for a certain schema version completely overlaps or masks out another released schema version, which can lead to conflicts in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Validity Intervals: The validity intervals for different schema versions are not set correctly, causing one version to completely overshadow another. This can happen if the start and end dates of the validity intervals are not properly defined.

  Multiple Releases: If multiple versions of the schema are released, and their validity periods are not managed correctly, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Validity Intervals: Check the validity intervals of the schema versions in question. Ensure that they do not completely overlap. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP CRM system.
  Adjust Dates: Modify the start and end dates of the validity intervals to ensure that they do not mask each other. Make sure that there is a clear distinction between the validity periods of different schema versions.
  Release Management: If you are managing multiple schema versions, ensure that the release process is followed correctly, and that the intervals are set in a way that reflects the intended usage of each version.
