  The SAP error message APS_CKE_PARSER117, which states "Changing the Semantic property of field &1 is incompatible," typically occurs in the context of data modeling or when working with the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments. This error indicates that there is an issue with the semantic properties of a field in a data model or a query.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incompatible Changes: You are trying to change the semantic property of a field that is already being used in a way that is incompatible with the new property you are trying to assign. For example, changing a field from a measure to a dimension or vice versa.
  Existing Dependencies: The field may have existing dependencies in queries, calculations, or other data models that prevent the change.
  Data Model Constraints: The data model may have constraints that do not allow for the change of semantic properties once they have been defined.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the field in question. Look for any queries, calculations, or other data models that reference this field. You may need to adjust or remove these dependencies before changing the semantic property.
  
  
  Revert Changes: If you have made recent changes to the field's properties, consider reverting those changes to restore the original state.
  
  
  Field Usage: Ensure that the field is not being used in a way that conflicts with the new semantic property. For example, if you are trying to change a field from a measure to a dimension, ensure that it is not being used in aggregations or calculations that require it to be a measure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on changing semantic properties in your version of SAP BW or HANA.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes in a development environment before applying them to production.
