• Message number: 589

• Message text: Layout of object &1 does not match layout &2 from RSADMIN parameter

What causes this issue?

With the <NP>RSADMIN </>parameter <NP>DB6_IOBJ_PQT_USE_CDE</>, you can
control whether P, Q, and text tables of InfoObjects are created as
row-organized or column-organized tables. This BW check has found that
the physical table layouts of the P, Q, and text tables of the
InfoObject differ from what is set in the <NP>RSADMIN </>parameter as
the default.

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?

If this is intended, no action is required.
If this is not intended, use the <NP>DB6CONV </>program to convert
InfoObjects to row-organized or column-organized tables. If this does
not help, report an incident on component BW-SYS-DB-DB6 to get advice
from SAP support before you start any further conversions.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB6589 - Layout of object &1 does not match layout &2 from RSADMIN parameter ?

  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6589 indicates that there is a mismatch between the layout of a specific object (usually a DataSource or InfoObject) and the layout defined in the RSADMIN parameter. This can occur in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are changes made to the structure of a DataSource or InfoObject that are not reflected in the corresponding settings in the RSADMIN table.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in DataSource/InfoObject: The layout of the DataSource or InfoObject has been modified (e.g., fields added, removed, or changed) but the corresponding layout in the RSADMIN parameter has not been updated.
  Inconsistent Metadata: There may be inconsistencies between the metadata in the BW system and the underlying database or source system.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport may not have included all necessary changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RSADMIN Parameter: 
  
  Go to transaction code RSADMIN and check the layout settings for the object in question. Ensure that the layout matches the current structure of the DataSource or InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the DataSource/InfoObject:
  
  If changes were made, try reactivating the DataSource or InfoObject. This can often resolve layout mismatches.
  Use transaction RSA1 to navigate to the DataSource or InfoObject and re-activate it.
  
  
  
  Update Metadata:
  
  If the layout has changed, you may need to update the metadata in the BW system. This can be done by using the "Update" function in the DataSource or InfoObject maintenance.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all relevant objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  
  System Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the BW system to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the error.
