• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HP_HIERARCHY022 - Filter data &2 / &3 not applicable to transformation in hierarchy &1 ?

  The SAP error message HP_HIERARCHY022 typically occurs in the context of data transformations involving hierarchies in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error indicates that the filter data specified in the transformation is not applicable to the hierarchy being used.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Incompatible Filter Values: The filter values specified in the transformation do not match any of the values in the hierarchy. This can happen if the filter is set to a value that does not exist in the hierarchy.
  Hierarchy Structure Changes: If the hierarchy has been modified (e.g., nodes added or removed) after the transformation was created, the existing filters may no longer be valid.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Assignment: The transformation may be incorrectly assigned to a hierarchy that does not support the specified filter values.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the transformation is pulling data may not have the necessary hierarchy information.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Filter Values: Review the filter values specified in the transformation. Ensure that they correspond to valid values in the hierarchy. You can do this by checking the hierarchy in the SAP BW or HANA modeling tools.
  
  
  Validate Hierarchy Structure: If there have been recent changes to the hierarchy, validate that the transformation is still applicable. You may need to update the transformation to reflect the current hierarchy structure.
  
  
  Adjust Transformation Settings: If the transformation is incorrectly assigned to a hierarchy, you may need to reassign it to the correct hierarchy or modify the transformation to accommodate the current hierarchy.
  
  
  Test with Different Filters: Temporarily remove or modify the filters in the transformation to see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is specifically related to certain filter values.
  
  
  Check Data Source: Ensure that the data source being used in the transformation is correctly configured and contains the necessary hierarchy information.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for additional guidance on handling hierarchy-related transformations.
  
  
  Related Information:
