• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW089 - External SAP HANA view: '&1': Active hierarchy setting will be ignored ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW089 indicates that there is an issue with the active hierarchy setting in an external SAP HANA view. This message typically arises when the system encounters a hierarchy that is not compatible with the current settings or context in which the view is being used.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The external HANA view is trying to use a hierarchy that is not set as active or is not available in the context of the query.
  The hierarchy settings in the HANA view do not match the expected settings in the SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW system.
  The hierarchy might be defined in a way that is not supported by the current version of the SAP system or the specific query being executed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Verify the hierarchy settings in the HANA view. Ensure that the hierarchy you are trying to use is marked as active and is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Review Query Settings:
  
  If you are using the view in a query, check the query settings in SAP BW/4HANA. Ensure that the query is configured to use the correct hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Update HANA View:
  
  If there have been changes to the hierarchy or the underlying data model, consider updating the HANA view to reflect these changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for any specific requirements or limitations regarding the use of hierarchies in HANA views.
  
  
  
  Check for Compatibility:
  
  Ensure that the version of SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW you are using is compatible with the features of the HANA view.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Hierarchies:
  
  If possible, test the view with different hierarchies to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is specific to a particular hierarchy.
