• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BWSD068 - Hierarchy deleted (&1) ?

  The SAP error message BWSD068 ("Hierarchy deleted (&1)") typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) when a hierarchy that is being referenced has been deleted. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to display or use a hierarchy in reports, queries, or data modeling.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the hierarchy identified by the key (&1) has been deleted from the system.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or InfoObjects that reference the hierarchy may lead to this error if the hierarchy is no longer valid.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was deleted in one system (e.g., development) and not transported correctly to another system (e.g., production), it may lead to inconsistencies.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy, leading to a perception that it has been deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Existence: Verify if the hierarchy still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoObject in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking the hierarchy settings.
  Recreate the Hierarchy: If the hierarchy has been deleted and is needed, you may need to recreate it. This can be done through the BW modeling tools.
  Transport Corrections: If the issue is due to transport inconsistencies, ensure that the hierarchy is correctly transported across systems.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  Check for Dependencies: If the hierarchy is part of a larger data model, check for any dependencies that may be affected by the deletion and address them accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the status of InfoObjects and hierarchies.
