  Database Compatibility Check: Ensure that the database you are using is compatible with the operations required for the view. If necessary, consider switching to a database that supports hierarchical data operations.
  Use Alternative Structures: If the hierarchy is essential, consider using alternative data structures or methods to represent the data without relying on hierarchy objects.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for your specific version and database to understand the limitations and supported features regarding hierarchy objects.
