• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH237 - View fields for filter are not available ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH237: View fields for filter are not available typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is an issue with the authorization or the configuration of the data model, particularly when trying to access a view or a query that relies on certain fields for filtering.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain fields in the view or query.
  Field Deletion or Renaming: The fields that are being referenced in the filter may have been deleted or renamed in the underlying data model or view.
  Inconsistent Data Model: Changes in the data model (like changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or queries) that are not reflected in the view can lead to this error.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be designed to filter on fields that are not part of the data source or view being queried.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the fields in question. This can be done by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SU53 to check for authorization failures after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Verify that the fields referenced in the filter are still present in the underlying data model. Check if any fields have been deleted or renamed.
  If changes have been made, update the query or view accordingly.
  
  
  
  Update Query:
  
  If the query is designed to filter on fields that are no longer available, modify the query to remove those filters or replace them with valid fields.
  Use transaction code RSRT to analyze and modify the query.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Refresh the View:
  
  If the view is based on a composite provider or a calculation view, consider refreshing or rebuilding the view to ensure it reflects the current state of the underlying data model.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly and that there are no inconsistencies between the development and production environments.
