How To Fix RS_PSA_DEP011 - Extension status of PSA-table &1 unchanged. Conversion required.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RS_PSA_DEP -

• Message number: 011

• Message text: Extension status of PSA-table &1 unchanged. Conversion required.

What causes this issue?

The extension status of PSA table &V1& (PSA &V2&, object &V3&) has not
been changed because it contains data.

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?

The PSA can still be used as it is. In order to change the extension
status, it needs to be converted explicitly.
For DataSources you can set RSADMIN parameter
RSDS_NEW_VERS_UPON_DT_CHANGE to 'X', in order to get a new version of
the DataSource with changed extension status when activating the
DataSource. In this case, all current data remains in the old version of
the DataSource with an old extension status. A new version with a new
extension status is created, and data reloaded into the DataSource is
added to this new version.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_PSA_DEP011 - Extension status of PSA-table &1 unchanged. Conversion required. ?

  The SAP error message RS_PSA_DEP011 indicates that the extension status of a Persistent Staging Area (PSA) table has not changed, and a conversion is required. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction and loading processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes to the data model (like changes in the structure of the InfoSource or DataSource) that require the PSA table to be updated or converted, but the system has not detected any changes in the extension status.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from processing it correctly.
  
  
  PSA Table Locking: The PSA table might be locked due to ongoing processes, preventing the conversion from taking place.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Data: If the data being loaded does not match the expected format or structure, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_PSA_DEP011 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DataSource and InfoSource: Ensure that the DataSource and InfoSource are correctly configured and that any changes made to them are properly reflected in the PSA.
  
  
  Perform a Manual Conversion:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the PSA and select the relevant PSA table.
  Manually trigger the conversion process for the PSA table.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the PSA table. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the processes to complete or manually release the locks if appropriate.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the data in the PSA. You can use transaction code RSA3 to analyze the data and ensure it matches the expected structure.
  
  
  Re-activate the DataSource: If the issue persists, consider re-activating the DataSource. This can sometimes resolve issues related to metadata inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check for Notes and Patches: Look for any SAP Notes or patches that may address this specific error. Sometimes, SAP releases updates that fix known issues.
