• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG079 - Simulation parameters do not match the parameters defined in the PSA date ?

  The SAP error message VMP_MSG079 indicates that there is a mismatch between the simulation parameters you are trying to use and the parameters that are defined in the PSA (Persistent Staging Area) data. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with data extraction and transformation processes.
  
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Parameter Mismatch: The parameters you are using for the simulation (e.g., selection criteria, filters, or other settings) do not match the parameters that were originally defined when the data was loaded into the PSA.
  
  
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been changes to the data model, such as changes in the InfoObject definitions, data types, or attributes, this can lead to discrepancies.
  
  
  Data Source Configuration: If the data source configuration has been altered after the data was loaded into the PSA, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If
