• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7247 - Characteristic &1, version &2: Nav. attrib. &3 deleted (no attribute) ?

  The SAP error message R7247 indicates that a navigation attribute for a characteristic has been deleted because it no longer has any associated attributes. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with InfoObjects and their attributes.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Attributes: The navigation attribute specified in the error message has been deleted or is no longer valid. This can happen if the underlying attribute of the characteristic has been removed or if the InfoObject has been modified.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to InfoObjects or InfoProviders, can lead to inconsistencies where navigation attributes are no longer linked to valid attributes.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the transport did not include all necessary objects, it could lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the InfoObject: Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and check the characteristics and their associated attributes. Ensure that the navigation attribute is still valid and linked to an existing attribute.
  Recreate Navigation Attributes: If the navigation attribute has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. This involves going to the InfoObject and re-adding the navigation attribute.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included. You may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  Data Model Consistency: Ensure that the data model is consistent. If there are inconsistencies, you may need to adjust the InfoObjects or InfoProviders accordingly.
  Check for Dependencies: Look for any dependencies that might be affected by the deletion of the navigation attribute. This includes queries, reports, or other objects that rely on the characteristic.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSD1 (InfoObject maintenance) and RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage and troubleshoot InfoObjects and their attributes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on managing InfoObjects and attributes in SAP BW or SAP HANA.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
