• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_UI_ES078 - Transformation Rules cannot be assigned, datamodel is "selection only" ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_UI_ES078 indicates that transformation rules cannot be assigned because the data model is set to "selection only." This typically occurs in the context of SAP Data Warehousing or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with transformation rules in the context of data modeling.
  Cause:
  
  Data Model Configuration: The data model you are working with is configured to allow only selection operations, meaning it does not support data transformations or loading processes. This is often the case when the model is set up for reporting purposes only.
  Transformation Rules: The transformation rules you are trying to assign are meant for data loading or transformation processes, which are not applicable in a "selection only" model.
  Incorrect Assignment: You may be attempting to assign transformation rules to a data model that is not intended for that purpose.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Model Settings: Review the configuration of your data model. If it is indeed set to "selection only," you may need to change its settings to allow for data transformations. This may involve modifying the model type or creating a new model that supports transformations.
  Create a New Data Model: If the current model cannot be changed, consider creating a new data model that is designed to support data transformations and loading processes.
  Review Transformation Rules: Ensure that the transformation rules you are trying to assign are appropriate for the data model you are working with. If they are not compatible, you may need to create new rules that align with the capabilities of the model.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring data models and transformation rules in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW/4HANA: If you are using SAP BW/4HANA, ensure that you are familiar with the new data modeling concepts and how they differ from previous versions of SAP BW.
