• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAODS012 - PSA & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message RSAODS012 indicates that a specific Persistent Staging Area (PSA) does not exist. This error typically occurs in the context of data extraction processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the system is unable to find the specified PSA table for a data source.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent PSA Table: The PSA table for the specified data source has not been created. This can happen if the data source has not been activated or if the data source is new and has not yet been used to load data.
  Incorrect Data Source: The data source name might be incorrectly specified in the process chain or data load process.
  Transport Issues: If the data source was transported from another system, the PSA table may not have been created in the target system.
  Deletion: The PSA table may have been deleted manually or through a cleanup process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Source Activation:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the relevant InfoSource and check if the data source is activated. If not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Create PSA Table:
  
  If the PSA table does not exist, you can create it by executing a data load from the source system. This will automatically create the PSA table.
  You can also manually create the PSA table if necessary, but this is generally not recommended unless you are sure of the structure.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Source Name:
  
  Double-check the data source name in your process chain or data load process to ensure it is correct.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the data source was transported, ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the data source or related objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion:
  
  If the PSA table was deleted, you may need to recreate it by loading data again or restoring it from a backup if available.
