• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_PSA_DEP058 - Extended table flag has been changed while conversion was running ?

  The SAP error message RS_PSA_DEP058 indicates that there is an issue with the Extended Table Flag in the context of data extraction and loading processes, particularly when working with the Persistent Staging Area (PSA) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically occurs when there is a conflict between the data loading process and the metadata of the PSA table.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Concurrent Data Loads: If multiple data loads are attempted on the same PSA table simultaneously, it can lead to inconsistencies in the metadata, resulting in this error.
  Changes in Table Structure: If the structure of the PSA table is altered (e.g., adding or removing fields) while a data load is in progress, it can trigger this error.
  Inconsistent Data: If there are issues with the data being loaded (e.g., data format issues, data type mismatches), it can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_PSA_DEP058 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Concurrent Loads: Ensure that no other data loads are running on the same PSA table. If there are, wait for them to complete before starting a new load.
  
  
  Review Table Structure: Verify if there have been any recent changes to the structure of the PSA table. If changes were made, consider reverting them or ensuring that they are compatible with the data being loaded.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Review the data being loaded for any inconsistencies or errors. Ensure that the data types and formats match the definitions in the PSA table.
  
  
  Restart the Load Process: After addressing any issues, restart the data load process. If the error persists, consider deleting the data in the PSA table and reloading it.
  
  
  Check Logs and Traces: Review the application logs and traces for more detailed information about the error. This can provide insights into what specifically caused the issue.
