• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT659 - Latest buffering values do match the active values ?

  The SAP error message DT659, which states "Latest buffering values do match the active values," typically occurs in the context of data buffering in SAP systems. This error indicates that the system is trying to update or change the buffering settings for a particular table or object, but the values it is attempting to set are already the current active values. 
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Detected: The error arises when the system detects that the latest buffering values you are trying to set are identical to the values that are currently active. This can happen if you attempt to reapply the same buffering settings without making any changes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misunderstanding or misconfiguration in the buffering settings for the specific table or object.
  System State: The system may be in a state where it cannot accept changes to the buffering settings due to ongoing processes or transactions.

  Verify Buffering Settings: Check the current buffering settings for the table or object in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary) and reviewing the buffering configuration.
  Make Necessary Changes: If you intended to change the buffering settings, ensure that you are making a valid change. If the settings are already correct, you may not need to take any action.
  Refresh or Restart: Sometimes, simply refreshing the session or restarting the transaction can resolve temporary issues.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks or ongoing transactions that might be preventing changes to the buffering settings.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to buffering and the specific table or object to ensure compliance with best practices.
