• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA119 - Object version '&1' cannot be saved, only version 'N' ?

  The SAP error message RSDA119 indicates that there is an issue with saving a specific version of a DataSource or InfoObject in the SAP system. The message states that the object version '&1' cannot be saved, and only version 'N' (which typically refers to the active version) is allowed to be saved.
  Cause:
  
  Versioning Issue: The error usually arises when you are trying to save a version of an object that is not the active version. In SAP BW (Business Warehouse), objects can have multiple versions, and only the active version (often referred to as version 'N') can be modified or saved.
  Transport Request: If you are working in a development environment and trying to transport changes, the object might be locked or in a state that does not allow saving.
  Authorization Issues: There may be insufficient authorizations to save the object in the desired version.
  Object Locking: The object might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes from being saved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Version: Ensure that you are working with the correct version of the object. You should be editing the active version (version 'N') of the DataSource or InfoObject.
  Release Locks: If the object is locked, check if another user is editing it. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and release locks if necessary.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to modify and save the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Transport Request: If you are working in a transport request, ensure that the request is correctly set up and that you have the necessary permissions to make changes.
  Use the Right Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code for the task you are trying to perform (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
