SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R7B - BW Metadata (InfoCube, InfoObject, InfoObject catalog)

• Message number: 623

• Message text: Characteristic &1: No interval allowed in hierarchy because UUID charact.

What causes this issue?

The characteristic &V1& is marked as UUID characteristic. Intervals are
therefore not permitted in hierarchies.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Delete the property for intervals in hierarchies or do not define the
characteristic&V1& as UUID characteristic.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B623 - Characteristic &1: No interval allowed in hierarchy because UUID charact. ?

  The SAP error message R7B623 indicates that there is an issue with a characteristic in a hierarchy where an interval is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when dealing with characteristics and hierarchies in data modeling.
  Cause:
  The error message "Characteristic &1: No interval allowed in hierarchy because UUID charact." suggests that the characteristic in question is defined in a way that does not permit the use of intervals. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  
  UUID Characteristics: The characteristic may be defined as a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) type, which does not support interval definitions. UUIDs are typically used for unique identification and do not have a range of values.
  
  
  Hierarchy Definition: The hierarchy associated with the characteristic may be incorrectly defined or may not support the use of intervals. Hierarchies are often used to represent parent-child relationships, and certain types of characteristics may not be compatible with interval definitions.
  
  
  Data Model Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the way the characteristic is set up in the InfoObject.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance (transaction code RSD1) and check the definition of the characteristic that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the characteristic is not defined as a UUID if you intend to use intervals.
  
  
  
  Review Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Check the hierarchy settings for the characteristic. Make sure that the hierarchy is correctly defined and that it does not require interval values.
  If the characteristic is meant to have a hierarchy, ensure that it is set up correctly to support the intended structure.
  
  
  
  Modify Data Model:
  
  If the characteristic needs to support intervals, consider changing its data type or structure to a compatible type that allows for intervals.
  If the characteristic is not meant to have intervals, ensure that any queries or reports using this characteristic are adjusted accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to characteristics and hierarchies in BW or HANA for additional guidance on best practices and configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the data model and any related queries to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation on SAP BW or HANA data modeling to better understand how to work with characteristics and hierarchies.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
