• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN146 - In data currentness 'All data (9)' only local cache can be used ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN146 indicates that there is an issue with the data currentness in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. Specifically, it suggests that the system is unable to access the required data from the database and can only use the local cache for the requested data.
  Cause:
  
  Data Currentness Settings: The error typically arises when the data currentness setting is set to "All data (9)", which means that the system is expected to retrieve all data from the database. If the database is not accessible or if there are issues with the data source, the system defaults to using only the local cache.
  Database Connectivity Issues: There may be connectivity issues between the SAP BW system and the underlying database.
  Data Load Issues: If there are problems with data loads or if the data has not been updated recently, the system may not have the latest data available.
  Cache Configuration: The local cache may not be configured properly, or it may not contain the necessary data to fulfill the request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Database Connectivity: Ensure that the connection to the database is active and functioning correctly. You can do this by checking the database logs and connection settings in the SAP system.
  Review Data Load Processes: Verify that the data load processes are running successfully and that the data is being updated as expected. Check for any errors in the data load logs.
  Adjust Data Currentness Settings: If it is acceptable for your reporting needs, consider changing the data currentness setting to a different option that allows for partial data retrieval or uses the local cache more effectively.
  Clear Local Cache: If the local cache is corrupted or outdated, consider clearing it to force the system to refresh the data. This can often resolve issues related to stale or incorrect data.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data in the database.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
