• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDS156 - Invalid object version &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDS156 "Invalid object version &1" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is an issue with the versioning of an object, such as a DataSource, InfoObject, or other BW objects. This error indicates that the system is trying to access an object version that is not valid or does not exist.
  Causes:
  
  Object Version Mismatch: The object version being referenced may have been deleted or is not the latest version.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies in the object versions.
  DataSource Activation: The DataSource may not have been activated properly after changes were made.
  Repository Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the BW repository or metadata.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Version: Verify the version of the object in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) or the relevant transaction for the object type. Ensure that the version you are trying to access is valid.
  Re-activate the Object: If the object is a DataSource or InfoObject, try reactivating it. This can often resolve versioning issues.
  
  Go to the DataSource or InfoObject in RSA1, and choose the option to activate it again.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors. Ensure that all related objects were transported correctly.
  Check for Deletions: Ensure that the object has not been deleted or that you are not referencing an object that has been removed.
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the BW cache can help resolve versioning issues. You can do this using transaction RSRV or RSADMIN.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are also in a valid state and activated.
