• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN144 - InfoProvider &1 omitted due to disjunctive restriction on &2 and &3 ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN144 indicates that an InfoProvider has been omitted from a query due to a disjunctive restriction applied to two or more characteristics. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a query that involves multiple InfoProviders, and the restrictions applied to the characteristics are conflicting or not compatible.
  Cause:
  
  
  Disjunctive Restrictions: The error arises when there are conflicting restrictions on the characteristics involved in the query. For example, if you have a restriction on characteristic A that includes values X and Y, and another restriction on characteristic B that includes values Z and W, the system may find that the combination of these restrictions does not allow for a valid intersection of data from the InfoProviders.
  
  
  Incompatible InfoProviders: The InfoProviders being queried may not be compatible with the restrictions applied, leading to the omission of one or more InfoProviders from the result set.
  
  
  Query Design: The design of the query itself may lead to situations where certain InfoProviders cannot be used together due to the way restrictions are defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Restrictions: Check the restrictions applied to the characteristics in your query. Ensure that they are compatible and do not conflict with each other. You may need to adjust the values or the logic of the restrictions.
  
  
  Modify Query: If the query design is causing the issue, consider modifying the query to either simplify the restrictions or to separate the logic in a way that allows for valid intersections of data.
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Compatibility: Ensure that the InfoProviders you are trying to use together are compatible with each other. This may involve checking the underlying data model and relationships between the InfoProviders.
  
  
  Use Union Instead of Disjunction: If applicable, consider using a union approach in your query design instead of a disjunctive restriction, which may help in retrieving data from multiple InfoProviders without conflicts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling disjunctive restrictions and InfoProvider compatibility.
