• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN210 - Query is not input-ready (temporal hierarchy join active on &1) ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN210 indicates that a query is not input-ready due to the activation of a temporal hierarchy join on a specific InfoProvider. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a query that involves a temporal hierarchy, which is a type of hierarchy that allows for time-based data analysis.
  Cause:
  
  Temporal Hierarchy Join Active: The error arises when a query is designed to use a temporal hierarchy join, which is not compatible with input-ready queries. Input-ready queries allow users to enter data directly into the query results, but temporal hierarchies are used for time-based data analysis and do not support this functionality.
  Query Design: The query may have been designed with certain characteristics or filters that are incompatible with input-ready functionality.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Modify the Query: 
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Check the properties of the query and look for any settings related to temporal hierarchies.
  If the query is intended to be input-ready, consider removing the temporal hierarchy join or adjusting the query design to eliminate the dependency on temporal hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Query: If the analysis requires the use of a temporal hierarchy, consider creating a separate query that does not need to be input-ready. This way, you can still analyze the data without the input functionality.
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Settings: Ensure that the InfoProvider settings are appropriate for the type of analysis you are trying to perform. If necessary, consult with your BW administrator to review the InfoProvider configuration.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: Refer to SAP documentation for more details on temporal hierarchies and input-ready queries. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Temporal Hierarchies: These are used in BW to analyze data over time, allowing users to see how data changes across different time periods.
  Input-Ready Queries: These queries allow users to enter data directly into the results, typically used for planning and budgeting scenarios.
  SAP BW Query Designer: This is the tool used to create and modify queries in SAP BW. Familiarity with this tool is essential for troubleshooting and resolving query-related issues.
  
  By addressing the query design and understanding the limitations of temporal hierarchies in relation to input-ready functionality, you can resolve the BRAIN210 error effectively.
