• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7I308 - Only select objects from ONE InfoProvider ?

  The SAP error message R7I308, which states "Only select objects from ONE InfoProvider," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create a query or report that involves multiple InfoProviders. This error indicates that the query is attempting to pull data from more than one InfoProvider, which is not allowed in certain contexts.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple InfoProviders: The primary cause of this error is that the query or report is trying to access data from more than one InfoProvider. In SAP BW, each query can only be based on a single InfoProvider.
  Query Design: The design of the query may inadvertently include fields or characteristics from different InfoProviders.
  Composite Providers: If you are using Composite Providers, ensure that the query is correctly set up to pull from a single source.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Query Design: Review the query design in the Query Designer. Ensure that all selected fields and characteristics belong to the same InfoProvider.
  Use a Single InfoProvider: If you need data from multiple InfoProviders, consider creating a new InfoProvider that consolidates the necessary data or use a Composite Provider that allows for combining data from multiple sources while ensuring that the query is still based on a single InfoProvider.
  Adjust Filters and Selections: If you have filters or selections that reference multiple InfoProviders, adjust them to ensure they are only referencing one.
  Recreate the Query: If the issue persists, you may need to recreate the query from scratch, ensuring that you only include objects from a single InfoProvider.
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoProviders: In SAP BW, InfoProviders are data sources that store data for reporting and analysis. Common types include InfoCubes, DataStore Objects (DSOs), and MultiProviders.
  Composite Providers: These allow you to combine data from multiple InfoProviders, but queries must still be designed carefully to avoid this error.
  SAP BW Query Designer: This is the tool used to create and modify queries in SAP BW. Familiarity with its features can help in troubleshooting issues like R7I308.
