• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HP_HIERARCHY067 - Template &1 edge filter &2: attribute name missing ?

  The SAP error message HP_HIERARCHY067 indicates that there is an issue with a hierarchy template in SAP, specifically related to an edge filter where an attribute name is missing. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with hierarchies and their associated attributes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Attribute Definition: The error usually occurs when the hierarchy template is expecting a specific attribute to be defined, but it is not present in the data model or the hierarchy definition.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the hierarchy settings or the edge filter settings that leads to the absence of the required attribute.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as removing or renaming attributes, it could lead to this error if the hierarchy template is not updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Template: Review the hierarchy template configuration to ensure that all required attributes are defined correctly. Make sure that the attribute specified in the edge filter is present in the hierarchy definition.
  Update Edge Filter: If the edge filter is referencing an attribute that no longer exists or has been renamed, update the edge filter to reference the correct attribute.
  Validate Data Model: Ensure that the underlying data model has not changed in a way that would affect the hierarchy. If changes have been made, update the hierarchy template to reflect these changes.
  Recreate Hierarchy: In some cases, it may be necessary to recreate the hierarchy or the hierarchy template to ensure that all attributes are correctly defined and linked.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on hierarchy templates and edge filters, as there may be additional context or updates relevant to your version of SAP.
