• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAODS252 - Inconsistent technical name &1 <> &2 for PSA &3 ?

  The SAP error message RSAODS252 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the technical names of the DataSource and the corresponding PSA (Persistent Staging Area) table. Specifically, the error message format is as follows:
  Inconsistent technical name &1 <> &2 for PSA &3
  Where:
  
  &1 is the technical name of the DataSource.
  &2 is the technical name of the PSA table.
  &3 is the name of the PSA.
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  The DataSource has been changed or modified after the PSA was created, leading to a mismatch in the technical names.
  The PSA table was manually altered or incorrectly configured, resulting in a discrepancy between the DataSource and the PSA.
  There may have been a transport issue where the DataSource and PSA were not transported together correctly.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RSAODS252 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP system (transaction code RSA1).
  Verify the technical name of the DataSource and ensure it matches the expected name.
  
  
  
  Check PSA Table:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to navigate to the PSA.
  Check the technical name of the PSA table and ensure it corresponds to the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Recreate the PSA:
  
  If the names do not match and you cannot resolve the inconsistency, you may need to delete the existing PSA and recreate it.
  To delete the PSA, you can use the RSA1 transaction, navigate to the PSA, and delete it.
  After deletion, you can refresh the DataSource, which will recreate the PSA with the correct technical name.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If this issue arose after a transport, ensure that both the DataSource and PSA were included in the transport request and that they were transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be fixes related to this issue.
