• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BWSD153 - No header data found for InfoProvider &1 ?

  The SAP error message BWSD153 ("No header data found for InfoProvider &1") typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a query or report is executed against an InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or DataStore Object) that does not have any header data available. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Data Loaded: The most common reason for this error is that there is no data loaded into the InfoProvider. This could be due to a failed data load process or simply because the InfoProvider has not been populated yet.
  
  
  Data Selection Criteria: The selection criteria applied in the query may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being returned. This can happen if filters are applied that exclude all available data.
  
  
  Data Activation Issues: If the data has been loaded but not activated, it may not be available for reporting. This can occur in scenarios where data is loaded into a DataStore Object (DSO) but not activated to the InfoCube.
  
  
  Incorrect InfoProvider: The query might be pointing to the wrong InfoProvider or the InfoProvider might have been deleted or deactivated.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the InfoProvider.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Load: Verify if data has been successfully loaded into the InfoProvider. You can do this by checking the data load monitor (transaction RSA1) to see if there are any errors in the data load process.
  
  
  Review Query Filters: Examine the filters and selection criteria applied in the query. Try running the query without any filters to see if data is returned.
  
  
  Activate Data: If data has been loaded into a DSO, ensure that it has been activated to the InfoCube. You can do this in the DSO management area.
  
  
  Verify InfoProvider: Ensure that the query is pointing to the correct InfoProvider. Check the InfoProvider settings and confirm that it is active and available.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoProvider and the data within it. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Data Preview: Use the data preview functionality in the InfoProvider to check if any data exists. This can help confirm whether the issue is with the query or the data itself.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSD1 (InfoProvider Maintenance), and RSRT (Query Monitor) to investigate the issue further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on data loading and query design to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the BWSD153 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
