• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MQ058 - Active package & and package & not identical at the time of generation ?

  The SAP error message MQ058 indicates that there is a mismatch between the active package and the package that is being generated. This typically occurs in the context of transport requests and package management in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with changes in development environments.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system detects that the active version of a package (the one currently in use) does not match the version of the package that is being generated or transported. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Changes Made After Transport Request Creation: If changes were made to the package after the transport request was created, the active version may differ from the one intended for transport.
  Multiple Developers: If multiple developers are working on the same package and one of them has made changes that have not been properly synchronized, it can lead to discrepancies.
  Transport Issues: If there are issues with the transport system or if the transport request was not released properly, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MQ058 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Package: Verify the active version of the package in the target system. You can do this by checking the package in the transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE01 (Transport Organizer).
  
  
  Synchronize Changes: Ensure that all changes made to the package are synchronized. If you are working in a team, communicate with your colleagues to ensure that everyone is aware of the latest changes.
  
  
  Recreate Transport Request: If the active package has changed significantly, it may be necessary to recreate the transport request. This involves:
  
  Deleting the existing transport request (if it is not needed).
  Creating a new transport request and including the necessary objects.
  Ensuring that the new transport request is based on the current active version of the package.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Request: After making sure that the transport request is correct, release it properly to ensure that it can be imported into the target system without issues.
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue persists, check the transport logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on the problem.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE01 (Transport Organizer), SE09 (Workbench Organizer), and SE10 (Customizing Organizer) for managing transport requests.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works can help in managing and troubleshooting transport-related issues.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or patches related to the MQ058 error, as SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the MQ058 error and ensure that your transport requests are correctly aligned with the active packages in your SAP system.
