  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_DB_DB6592 - Fields in metadata: ?

    The SAP error message RS_DB_DB6592 typically indicates an issue related to the metadata of a DataSource or InfoProvider in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error can occur when there are inconsistencies or problems with the metadata definitions in the database.

    Cause:

    1. Inconsistent Metadata: The metadata in the BW system may not match the underlying database structure, leading to discrepancies.
    2. Missing Fields: The error can occur if certain fields expected in the metadata are missing or have been altered in the database.
    3. Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies in the metadata.
    4. Database Changes: Changes made directly in the database (outside of SAP) can lead to metadata issues.

    Solution:

    1. Check Metadata: Verify the metadata definitions in the BW system against the actual database structure. Ensure that all fields are correctly defined and exist in the database.
    2. Re-activate DataSource/InfoProvider: Sometimes, reactivating the DataSource or InfoProvider can resolve metadata issues. This can be done in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
    3. Repair Metadata: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check and repair the metadata. You can also use the RS_METADATA transaction to analyze and fix metadata inconsistencies.
    4. Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing components.
    5. Database Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify and fix any discrepancies.
    6. Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

    Related Information:
