• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLES011 - No data for characteristic '&1' ?

  The SAP error message CLES011, which states "No data for characteristic '&1'", typically occurs in the context of SAP's data warehousing or reporting functionalities, particularly when working with characteristics in InfoObjects or when trying to execute queries that rely on specific data characteristics.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Data: The most common cause of this error is that there is no data available for the specified characteristic in the underlying data source. This could be due to:
  
  The characteristic not being populated in the data source.
  Filters applied in the query that exclude all relevant data.
  Data not being loaded into the InfoProvider or InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic may not be properly configured in the data model, or there may be issues with the data extraction process.
  
  
  Data Selection: The selection criteria in the query may be too restrictive, leading to no data being returned for the specified characteristic.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Availability:
  
  Verify that the characteristic in question has data in the relevant InfoProvider or InfoCube. You can do this by running a simple query or using transaction codes like RSA1 to check the data in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Review Query Filters:
  
  Examine the filters applied in the query. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive and that they allow for data to be returned for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Data Load Verification:
  
  Check the data load process to ensure that data is being correctly extracted, transformed, and loaded (ETL) into the target InfoProvider. Use transaction codes like RSA3 to test the data extraction.
  
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined in the data model. This includes checking its attributes, hierarchies, and any dependencies it may have.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Data:
  
  If data is missing due to a failed load, you may need to reprocess the data load or perform a delta load to ensure that the latest data is available.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Review the logs for any errors or warnings that may provide additional context on why the data is not available.
