• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_PSA_DEP073 - Inconsistent storage parameter for table &1 ?

  The SAP error message RS_PSA_DEP073 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the storage parameters for a specific table in the Persistent Staging Area (PSA). This error typically arises when there are discrepancies between the metadata definitions of the PSA table and the actual data stored in it.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Metadata: The metadata of the PSA table (like data types, lengths, etc.) does not match the actual data stored in the table.
  Data Load Issues: If there were issues during data loading (e.g., data type mismatches, truncation), it could lead to inconsistencies.
  Changes in Data Structure: If the structure of the source data has changed (e.g., new fields added, data types changed) and the PSA table has not been updated accordingly.
  Manual Changes: Any manual changes made to the PSA table or its structure outside of the standard data loading processes can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Metadata: Verify the metadata of the PSA table against the source data structure. Ensure that the data types and lengths match.
  Recreate the PSA Table: If the inconsistencies are significant, it may be necessary to drop and recreate the PSA table. This can be done by:
  
  Deleting the existing PSA table.
  Re-executing the data load process to recreate the table with the correct structure.
  
  
  Data Load Monitoring: Monitor the data load process for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with data types or lengths.
  Repairing the Table: If the issue is minor, you may be able to adjust the storage parameters directly in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) or using relevant ABAP programs to correct the inconsistencies.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using for any known issues or patches.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage and monitor your PSA tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific fixes or recommendations related to the RS_PSA_DEP073 error.
  Data Source Changes: If the source system has undergone changes, ensure that the data source in SAP BW is updated accordingly.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test data load to ensure that the issue is resolved and that the data is being loaded correctly into the PSA.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS_PSA_DEP073 error and ensure that your PSA tables are consistent and functioning correctly.
