How To Fix DBMAN111 - InfoObject & is constantly set to &. Original criteria were replaced

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DBMAN - Data Manager Message Class

• Message number: 111

• Message text: InfoObject & is constantly set to &. Original criteria were replaced

What causes this issue?

InfoObject &v1& is constantly set to the value &v2&. This condition has
been built into the request as an additional restriction. An existing
global restriction has therefore been replaced with &v1&.
This message is for your information only. As the request definition
already contains an explicit restriction for InfoObject v1&, and this
may possibly contradict the restriction stored in the repository, a
conflict could be presented here.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You can resolve this conflict by either removing the restriction from
&v1& in the repository (transaction RSD1) or by removing the
restriction &v1& from within the request (using the Query Builder).

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN111 - InfoObject & is constantly set to &. Original criteria were replaced ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN111 indicates that an InfoObject in a query or report is constantly set to a specific value, which means that the original selection criteria have been replaced. This can happen in various scenarios, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  
  Default Values: The InfoObject may have a default value set in the query or report, which overrides any user input.
  Query Designer Settings: In the Query Designer, the InfoObject might be set to a constant value, which means it will always filter the data based on that value.
  Variable Settings: If the InfoObject is linked to a variable that has a fixed value or is set to a specific selection, it can lead to this error.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, user authorizations can restrict the visibility of certain data, leading to a constant value being applied.
  Data Source Issues: If the data source has been modified or if there are issues with the underlying data, it may cause the InfoObject to default to a specific value.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Query Designer: Open the query in the Query Designer and check the properties of the InfoObject. Ensure that it is not set to a constant value or default value.
  Review Variables: If the InfoObject is linked to a variable, check the variable settings to ensure it is not set to a fixed value.
  Remove Filters: If there are filters applied to the InfoObject, consider removing them to see if that resolves the issue.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to view the data for the InfoObject. Adjust authorizations if needed.
  Data Source Validation: Check the underlying data source for any issues or changes that may have affected the InfoObject's behavior.
  Recreate the Query: If the issue persists, consider recreating the query from scratch to ensure that no hidden settings are causing the problem.
