• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW104 - Calculated attribute '&1' invalid: Attribute '&2' is missing ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW104 indicates that there is an issue with a calculated attribute in a HANA view. Specifically, the error states that a calculated attribute (denoted as &1) is invalid because a required attribute (denoted as &2) is missing. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW/4HANA or SAP HANA modeling.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Attribute: The calculated attribute relies on another attribute that is not present in the data model or view. This could be due to:
  
  The attribute was deleted or not included in the data source.
  The attribute is not part of the underlying table or view that the calculated attribute is referencing.
  There may be a typo or mismatch in the attribute name.
  
  
  
  Modeling Issues: There could be issues in the modeling layer where the calculated attribute is defined, such as incorrect joins or filters that exclude the required attribute.
  
  
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source has changed (e.g., a table structure was modified), it may lead to missing attributes in the view.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Data Model: 
  
  Verify that the attribute &2 exists in the data model or the underlying tables/views. If it is missing, you may need to add it back or adjust the calculated attribute to not depend on it.
  
  
  
  Review Calculated Attribute Definition:
  
  Open the definition of the calculated attribute &1 and check its dependencies. Ensure that all required attributes are correctly referenced and available in the model.
  
  
  
  Update Data Source:
  
  If the data source has changed, update the data source in the HANA view or the BW model to include the necessary attributes.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the View:
  
  If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the view or the calculated attribute to ensure that all dependencies are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
  
  Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the attribute names used in the calculated attribute definition.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for specific guidance related to the version of SAP you are using, as there may be version-specific considerations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
