How To Fix BRAIN316 - Aggregates for InfoCube &1 cannot be used

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 316

• Message text: Aggregates for InfoCube &1 cannot be used

What causes this issue?

The query uses the delta cache procedure and attempts to select a
request R with 0 <(><<)> R <(><<)>= &V2& for InfoCube &V1&.
You want to use aggregates to do this. However, this is not possible
because aggregates for &V1& are already compressed to &V2&.

System Response

The query reads the delta requests from InfoCube &V1&. In some
circumstances, this can take considerably longer.

How to fix this error?

You can compress the aggregates with a time lag.
