• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 887

• Message text: No exception aggr. in BWA for &1 because user decision is overridden

What causes this issue?

The user decision to perform exception aggregation in BWA has been
overridden.
This could be for the following reasons:
It has been explicitly overridden, for example by debugging
MultiProvider with compound characteristics that are used by the query
either directly or indirectly (as an exception aggregation reference
characteristic for example) and of which at least one is defined in such
a way that the bracket parent is supplied homogenously, and at least one
of the participating InfoProviders does not contain the bracket child
(compounding problem).
Individual InfoProvider without BWA persistency

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN887 - No exception aggr. in BWA for &1 because user decision is overridden ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN887 indicates that there is no exception aggregation available in the Business Warehouse Accelerator (BWA) for a specific query or data set because the user decision has been overridden. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with queries that involve exception aggregation.
  Cause:
  
  User Decision Overridden: The error suggests that a user decision regarding the aggregation of data has been overridden. This can happen if the settings for exception aggregation in the query are not properly configured or if there are conflicting settings in the query definition.
  Query Configuration: The query might not have been set up to handle exception aggregation correctly, or the relevant characteristics and key figures may not be defined properly.
  BWA Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the BWA itself, such as missing or incomplete data indexing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Query Settings: Review the query definition in the Query Designer. Ensure that the exception aggregation settings are correctly configured. Look for any overridden settings that might be causing the issue.
  Reconfigure Exception Aggregation: If necessary, reconfigure the exception aggregation settings for the relevant key figures in the query. Make sure that the characteristics used for aggregation are correctly defined.
  BWA Indexing: Ensure that the BWA is properly indexed. You may need to refresh or rebuild the index for the relevant InfoProvider to ensure that all data is available for aggregation.
  User Authorizations: Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to access the exception aggregation settings. Sometimes, lack of permissions can lead to overridden decisions.
