DBMAN017
- &1 is not an InfoCube (Type &2) ?The SAP error message DBMAN017 indicates that the object you are trying to access or manipulate is not recognized as an InfoCube. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an attempt to perform operations on a data object that is expected to be an InfoCube but is not.
Cause:
- Incorrect Object Type: The object you are referencing is not an InfoCube. It could be a different type of data object, such as a DataStore Object (DSO), InfoObject, or a different structure.
