• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB6590 - Index &1 for DSO table &2 in metadata does not exist on database ?

  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6590 indicates that there is a mismatch between the metadata in the SAP system and the actual database structure. Specifically, it means that the index for a DataStore Object (DSO) table, as defined in the metadata, does not exist in the database.
  Cause:
  
  
  Metadata Mismatch: The metadata in the SAP system may not be in sync with the actual database. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The DSO was created or modified, but the corresponding database objects were not created or updated.
  Manual changes were made to the database that were not reflected in the SAP metadata.
  Issues during transport of changes from one system to another (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Database Issues: There may be underlying issues with the database itself, such as corruption or missing objects.
  
  
  Transport Errors: If the DSO was transported from one system to another, the transport might not have included all necessary objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Metadata: Verify the metadata for the DSO in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the DSO configuration.
  
  
  Rebuild Index: If the index is missing, you may need to rebuild it. This can often be done by:
  
  Going to the DSO in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Selecting the option to activate or rebuild the DSO, which should recreate the necessary database objects.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the database to ensure that all objects are present and correctly defined. You can use transaction RS_CHECK for this purpose.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly imported.
  
  
  Database Administration: If the problem persists, consult with your database administrator to check for any underlying database issues or corruption.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1, RS_CHECK, and SE11 (Data Dictionary) for further investigation.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on DataStore Objects and their management.
  Support Community: Engage with the SAP Community or forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
