  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMMA157 - Variable was stored ?

    The SAP error message EMMA157 ("Variable was stored") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with queries, variables, or data extraction processes. This message indicates that a variable has been stored in the system, which may not be the expected behavior in certain scenarios.

    Cause:

    1. Variable Configuration: The variable may have been configured to store values automatically, which can happen if the variable is set to "store" in the query definition or in the variable settings.
    2. User Input: If a user has input a value for a variable during the execution of a query and the system is set to store that value for future use, this message will appear.
    3. Query Execution: The error can also arise during the execution of a query where the variable is expected to be dynamic but is instead being stored.

    Solution:

    1. Check Variable Settings: Review the settings of the variable in the query designer. Ensure that the variable is not set to "store" if you do not want it to retain values.
    2. Modify Query Execution: If the variable is intended to be dynamic, ensure that the query is executed in a way that does not store the variable value. This may involve changing the execution mode or the way the query is called.
    3. Clear Stored Values: If you want to clear the stored value, you can do this through the SAP BW system by navigating to the relevant area where variables are managed and clearing any stored values.
    4. User Training: Ensure that users understand how to interact with variables in queries, especially regarding when to store values and when not to.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
