• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_DEV113 - Navigation attribute &1 mapping does not match with mapping of &2 ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV113 indicates a mismatch in the mapping of navigation attributes in a query or data model. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an inconsistency between the expected mapping of attributes in a data model and the actual mapping defined in the query or InfoProvider.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Mapping: The navigation attribute defined in the query does not match the mapping defined in the underlying data model (e.g., InfoObject, InfoProvider).
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model (like changes in InfoObjects or InfoProviders), the query may not have been updated accordingly.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may have been designed incorrectly, leading to a mismatch in the expected attributes.
  Transport Issues: If the data model was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the mappings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Mapping: Review the mapping of the navigation attributes in both the query and the underlying data model. Ensure that they are consistent.
  Update Query: If there have been changes to the data model, update the query to reflect these changes. This may involve re-selecting the navigation attributes in the query designer.
  Rebuild Query: In some cases, it may be easier to rebuild the query from scratch to ensure that all mappings are correct.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that all necessary objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing dependencies.
  Check for Duplicates: Ensure that there are no duplicate navigation attributes that could be causing confusion in the mapping.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW or HANA you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
