  Cause:
  
  Change in Data Model: The join type (e.g., inner join, left outer join, etc.) may have been modified in the underlying data model or InfoProvider.

  Review the Query: Check the query definition to understand how the join types have changed. Ensure that the new join type aligns with the intended data retrieval logic.
  Validate Data Model: If the data model has been altered, validate the changes to ensure they meet the requirements of the reporting or analysis needs.

  Documentation: Document any changes made to the data model or query for future reference and to inform other users of the potential impact.
  Consult with Team: If unsure about the implications of the join type change, consult with your SAP BW or HANA team or a data modeler to understand the impact on data integrity and reporting.
