• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW155 - &1: Hierarchy &2 is not valid for SAP HANA: it contains intervals ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW155 indicates that there is an issue with a hierarchy in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) that is being used in conjunction with SAP HANA. Specifically, the error states that the hierarchy contains intervals, which are not supported in the context of SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  The root cause of this error is that the hierarchy you are trying to use in your SAP HANA view contains interval nodes. In SAP BW, hierarchies can include various types of nodes, including those that represent ranges or intervals. However, SAP HANA does not support these types of hierarchies, leading to the error when attempting to use them in a HANA context.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Hierarchy: Check the hierarchy definition in your SAP BW system. Identify if there are any nodes that represent intervals.
  
  
  Modify the Hierarchy: If the hierarchy contains interval nodes, you will need to modify it. This can involve:
  
  Removing the interval nodes from the hierarchy.
  Replacing interval nodes with discrete values or categories that are supported by SAP HANA.
  
  
  
  Create a New Hierarchy: If necessary, you may need to create a new hierarchy that does not include intervals and is compatible with SAP HANA.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary modifications, test the hierarchy in the context of your SAP HANA view to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Update Data Models: If the hierarchy is used in any data models or reports, ensure that those are updated to reflect the changes made to the hierarchy.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates regarding this error. SAP Notes often contain fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for both SAP BW and SAP HANA to understand the limitations and supported features regarding hierarchies.
  Community Forums: Engage with the SAP Community or forums where other users may have encountered similar issues. They may provide insights or solutions based on their experiences.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully use your hierarchy in SAP HANA.
