G00862
- Char &1 already used as an attribute of char &2 ?The SAP error message G00862 indicates that there is a conflict in the use of characteristics in the context of SAP's data modeling, particularly in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. The message states that a characteristic (denoted as &1) is already being used as an attribute of another characteristic (denoted as &2). This typically occurs when you are trying to define or modify characteristics in a way that violates the uniqueness or hierarchy rules of the data model.
Cause: Duplicate Usage: The characteristic you are trying to use as an attribute is already defined as an attribute of another characteristic. In SAP BW, each characteristic can have its own set of attributes, and reusing a characteristic as an attribute of multiple other characteristics can lead to conflicts. Modeling Errors: Errors in the data model design, such as incorrect relationships or hierarchies, can lead to this issue. Data Source Conflicts:
