• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_SUP026 - &1 cannot be changed. USER_EXIT_MODE set to '1'. ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_SUP026 indicates that a certain object (like a query or report) cannot be changed because the USER_EXIT_MODE is set to '1'. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Explorer (BEx) or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to modify a query or report that is in a mode that restricts changes.
  Cause:
  The USER_EXIT_MODE parameter controls the behavior of user exits in SAP BW. When it is set to '1', it indicates that the object is in a mode that does not allow modifications. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The object is currently being used in a report or query that is locked for editing.
  The object is in a state that requires it to be in a read-only mode, possibly due to a transport request or versioning.
  The user does not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Locking:
  
  Ensure that the object you are trying to modify is not currently locked by another user or process. You can check the lock entries using transaction code SM12.
  
  
  
  Change User Exit Mode:
  
  If you have access, you can change the USER_EXIT_MODE to '0' to allow changes. This can typically be done in the settings or configuration of the BEx Query Designer or the relevant transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure you have the correct roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and that the object is not in a state that prevents changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using, as there may be additional context or updates that could affect this behavior.
  
  
  
  Restart the Session:
  
  Sometimes, simply logging out and back into the SAP system can clear temporary states that may be causing the issue.
