  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH197 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are issues related to authorizations for accessing hierarchy views in SAP HANA. This error indicates that the system is unable to apply the necessary filter strings for hierarchy views due to authorization restrictions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to access the hierarchy views or the underlying data.

  Review Hierarchy Configuration:
