• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDA344 - Consistent data selection from database and archive not guaranteed ?

  Check Archiving Status: Verify the status of the data archiving process. Ensure that the data has been archived correctly and that the database reflects the current state of the data.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the data. This may involve running specific SAP transactions or reports that can help identify inconsistencies between the database and the archive.
  Update Database: If the database contains outdated or inconsistent data, consider updating or deleting the relevant entries to ensure that they match the archived data.
