• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW153 - Invalid object version &1; only 'M', 'A' or 'D' are permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW153 indicates that there is an issue with the version of an object in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse). The message states that the object version is invalid and only the values 'M' (for "Modified"), 'A' (for "Active"), or 'D' (for "Deleted") are permitted.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  An object (like a DataSource, InfoObject, or InfoProvider) is being referenced with an invalid version identifier.
  The object might have been incorrectly configured or corrupted.
  There may be a mismatch in the versioning of objects due to changes in the system or during transport.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSQBW153 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Version:
  
  Verify the version of the object in question. Ensure that it is set to one of the valid states: 'M', 'A', or 'D'.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant object in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking its properties.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Object:
  
  If the object is in an invalid state, try reactivating it. This can often reset the version to a valid state.
  Go to the object in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and choose to activate it again.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the error occurred after a transport, check if the transport was successful and if all objects were transported correctly.
  You may need to re-transport the object or check for any missing dependencies.
  
  
  
  Check for Corruption:
  
  If the object appears to be corrupted, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
