• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7455 - Aggregate &1 deactivated (uses deleted or time-dependent attribute) ?

  The SAP error message R7455 indicates that an aggregate (in this case, identified by &1) has been deactivated because it is no longer valid due to either deleted uses or time-dependent attributes. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA, where aggregates are used to optimize query performance by pre-calculating and storing summarized data.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Uses: The aggregate may have been associated with certain InfoProviders or queries that have since been deleted. When these dependencies are removed, the aggregate becomes invalid.
  Time-Dependent Attributes: If the aggregate relies on attributes that are time-dependent and those attributes have been modified or deleted, the aggregate can no longer function correctly.
  Changes in Data Model: Any changes in the underlying data model, such as modifications to InfoObjects or InfoProviders, can lead to the deactivation of aggregates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the aggregate. Identify any deleted InfoProviders or queries that were using the aggregate. You may need to recreate or adjust these dependencies.
  Rebuild the Aggregate: If the aggregate is no longer valid, you may need to rebuild it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the Aggregate Maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Selecting the relevant InfoCube or DataStore Object (DSO).
  Rebuilding the aggregate by selecting the option to create or activate it again.
  
  
  Review Time-Dependent Attributes: If the issue is related to time-dependent attributes, ensure that the attributes are correctly defined and that the aggregate is updated to reflect any changes.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as some issues may be resolved in newer versions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage aggregates and InfoProviders.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on managing aggregates and understanding the implications of time-dependent attributes.
  Performance Considerations: Regularly monitor and maintain aggregates to ensure optimal performance of your BW queries. Deactivated aggregates can lead to performance degradation if not addressed.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a BW expert for further assistance.
