• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R8453 - DataSource & with HIER type does not have any hierarchy additional info ?

  The SAP error message R8453 indicates that a DataSource with a HIER (hierarchy) type does not have any associated hierarchy data. This error typically occurs when you are trying to load or process data from a DataSource that is expected to have a hierarchy structure, but the necessary hierarchy information is missing or not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy Data: The DataSource is defined as a hierarchy type, but there is no hierarchy data available in the source system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DataSource may not be correctly configured to pull hierarchy data.
  DataSource Activation: The DataSource might not be activated properly in the SAP system.
  Source System Issues: There could be issues in the source system that prevent the hierarchy data from being extracted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Data: Verify that the hierarchy data exists in the source system. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view hierarchy data.
  DataSource Configuration: Ensure that the DataSource is correctly configured to include hierarchy data. This may involve checking the settings in the DataSource definition.
  Activate DataSource: If the DataSource is not activated, activate it in the SAP system. You can do this using transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and navigating to the DataSource.
  Check Extraction Logic: Review the extraction logic to ensure that it is set up to pull hierarchy data. This may involve checking the transformation rules or the extraction method.
  Test Extraction: Perform a test extraction to see if the hierarchy data can be pulled successfully. Use transaction RSA3 to test the DataSource and see if it returns the expected hierarchy data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific DataSource you are working with for any additional configuration steps or known issues.
