• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0T221 - Only client-specific targets can be used in target groups ?

  The SAP error message 0T221 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of target groups in the context of SAP's Business Warehouse (BW) or Business Intelligence (BI) systems. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to use a target that is not client-specific in a target group that requires client-specific targets.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a target group that includes non-client-specific targets (like InfoObjects or InfoProviders) in a context where only client-specific targets are allowed.
  The target group is set up to only accept client-specific objects, but the object you are trying to include does not meet this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Target Group Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the target group you are working with. Ensure that all targets included in the group are client-specific.
  If you have included any non-client-specific targets, remove them from the target group.
  
  
  
  Use Client-Specific Targets:
  
  Ensure that you are using targets that are designed to be client-specific. This typically includes InfoProviders that are set up for specific clients.

  If necessary, create a new target group that is specifically designed to include the types of targets you need. Make sure to configure it correctly to accept the appropriate targets.
