• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_HANA293 - &1 cannot be generated in rules on HANA. &1 has no calculated columns ?

  The SAP error message FDT_HANA293 indicates that there is an issue with generating rules in SAP HANA due to the absence of calculated columns in the specified object. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Financial Data Management (FDM) or when working with SAP HANA views and rules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to generate rules or views in SAP HANA that require calculated columns, but the specified object (e.g., a table or view) does not contain any calculated columns. Calculated columns are essential for certain operations, as they allow for dynamic calculations based on other columns in the data model.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Object Definition:
  
  Verify the definition of the object (table or view) you are working with. Ensure that it includes calculated columns as needed for the rules you are trying to generate.
  
  
  
  Add Calculated Columns:
  
  If the object does not have calculated columns, you may need to add them. This can be done by modifying the data model in SAP HANA Studio or using SQL scripts to create calculated columns based on existing data.
  
  
  
  Review Rule Logic:
  
  Ensure that the logic defined in your rules is appropriate and that it references the correct columns. If the rules are expecting calculated columns, make sure they are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Re-generate the Rules:
  
  After making the necessary changes, attempt to regenerate the rules again. This should resolve the error if the calculated columns are now present.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on working with calculated columns and rules in your version of SAP HANA.
