• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTRAN_GUI013 - Inconsistent object version specified ?

  The SAP error message RSTRAN_GUI013: Inconsistent object version specified typically occurs during data transfer processes, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the version of the object being processed and the version expected by the system.
  Causes:
  
  Version Mismatch: The object (like InfoObject, InfoProvider, or DataSource) has been changed or updated in the system, but the version being referenced in the data transfer process is outdated or inconsistent.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies in the versions of the objects across systems.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP) Configuration: The DTP might be configured to use an outdated version of the object.
  Change in Metadata: Changes in the metadata of the object (like changes in fields, data types, etc.) can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Versions: Verify the version of the object in the source and target systems. Ensure that they are consistent and up-to-date.
  Recreate DTP: If the DTP is referencing an outdated object, consider recreating the DTP to ensure it points to the correct version of the object.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly and are in sync.
  Activate Objects: Sometimes, simply activating the object in the target system can resolve the inconsistency. Go to the relevant object (like InfoObject or DataSource) and activate it.
  Check for Changes: Review any recent changes made to the object or its structure. If changes were made, ensure that all dependent objects are also updated accordingly.
  Clear Buffer: In some cases, clearing the buffer for the relevant objects can help resolve inconsistencies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the status of InfoProviders and DTPs.
