• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN885 - No exception aggregation in BWA for &1 because of formula exc. aggr. ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN885 indicates that there is an issue with exception aggregation in the Business Warehouse Accelerator (BWA) for a specific query or InfoProvider. This error typically arises when a query is trying to use exception aggregation, but the BWA does not support it for the specified InfoProvider or query configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Exception Aggregation Not Supported: The BWA does not support exception aggregation for certain types of queries or InfoProviders. This can happen if the query is designed to perform calculations that require exception aggregation, but the underlying data model or BWA configuration does not allow it.
  Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that it requires exception aggregation, but the data source or the BWA setup does not have the necessary configurations to handle it.
  Incompatibility with BWA: Some characteristics or key figures used in the query may not be compatible with BWA's capabilities regarding exception aggregation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Query Design: Check the query design in the Query Designer. If exception aggregation is not necessary, consider removing it from the query.
  Modify Aggregation Logic: If exception aggregation is required, you may need to adjust the logic of the query or the underlying data model to ensure that it can be processed without exception aggregation.
  Check BWA Configuration: Ensure that the BWA is properly configured and that the InfoProvider is optimized for use with BWA. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team to verify the configuration.
  Use Standard Aggregation: If possible, switch to standard aggregation methods that are supported by BWA instead of using exception aggregation.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message and its resolution.
