• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN463 - NCUM pushdown for &1: no SID for characteristic &2 ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN463 indicates an issue related to the pushdown of a Non-Cumulative (NCUM) key figure in a query. Specifically, the error message states that there is "no SID for characteristic &2" for the data source identified as "&1". This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to execute a query that involves non-cumulative key figures.
  Cause:
  
  Missing SID: The error suggests that the system is unable to find a SID (Surrogate ID) for the characteristic specified. SIDs are used in SAP BW to map the characteristic values to their corresponding keys in the database.
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the data model, such as missing or incorrectly configured attributes or hierarchies for the characteristic in question.
  Data Load Issues: If the data for the characteristic has not been loaded correctly or is incomplete, it can lead to missing SIDs.
  Query Design: The query might be designed in a way that is incompatible with the data model, especially if it involves complex calculations or aggregations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Load: Ensure that the data for the characteristic has been loaded correctly. You can do this by checking the InfoObject and the corresponding data in the InfoProvider.
  Rebuild SIDs: If SIDs are missing, you may need to rebuild them. This can be done by reloading the data for the characteristic or by using the transaction code RSBATCH to regenerate SIDs.
  Check Query Design: Review the query design to ensure that it is compatible with the data model. Make sure that all required characteristics are included and that the non-cumulative key figures are set up correctly.
  Analyze InfoObject Settings: Check the settings of the InfoObject associated with the characteristic. Ensure that it is correctly configured and that all necessary attributes and hierarchies are defined.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to analyze the InfoObjects and InfoProviders, and RSRT (Query Monitor) to test the query execution.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Non-Cumulative Key Figures: These are key figures that do not accumulate over time, such as stock levels. They require specific handling in queries and data models.
  SIDs in SAP BW: SIDs are crucial for performance and data integrity in SAP BW. They allow for efficient data retrieval and storage.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further analysis and support.
