• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS072 - Postprocessing PSA &1 failed (rc = &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSDS072 indicates that there was a failure in the postprocessing of the Persistent Staging Area (PSA) for a DataSource. The message typically includes two parameters: &1, which represents the DataSource, and &2, which indicates the return code (rc) of the operation.
  Causes:
  
  Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues with the data transfer from the source system to the PSA, such as network problems or incorrect configurations.
  Data Quality Issues: The data being transferred may contain errors or inconsistencies that prevent it from being processed correctly.
  PSA Table Locking: The PSA table may be locked by another process, preventing the current operation from completing.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the data load may not have the necessary authorizations to write to the PSA.
  System Resource Limitations: There may be insufficient memory or other system resources available to complete the operation.
  Incorrect DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be configured correctly, leading to issues during data processing.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) and the Data Transfer Monitor (transaction RSMO) for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into the failure.
  Data Quality Checks: Validate the data being loaded into the PSA for any inconsistencies or errors. You may need to clean or transform the data before loading.
  Release Locks: If the PSA table is locked, identify the process holding the lock and release it if appropriate. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the data load. Check roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  Monitor System Resources: Check system performance and resource usage. If necessary, optimize the system or schedule the data load during off-peak hours.
  Review DataSource Configuration: Verify that the DataSource is correctly configured in the source system and in the SAP BW system. Ensure that all required fields and settings are properly defined.
