• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW173 - FEMS &1: More than one hierarchy used on &2. Query view not generated. ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW173 indicates that there is an issue with the query view generation in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with HANA views. Specifically, the error states that more than one hierarchy is being used on a characteristic, which is not allowed in the context of the query view generation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A characteristic in your query is associated with multiple hierarchies. In SAP BW, a characteristic can only have one active hierarchy at a time for a query.
  The query is trying to use multiple hierarchies for the same characteristic, which leads to ambiguity in the data retrieval process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Characteristic: Determine which characteristic is causing the issue. The error message will typically indicate the characteristic (denoted as &2 in the message).
  
  
  Check Hierarchies: Go to the InfoObject maintenance for the characteristic in question and check the hierarchies assigned to it. You can do this in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  
  
  Select a Single Hierarchy: Decide which hierarchy you want to use for your query. You may need to:
  
  Remove the additional hierarchies that are not needed.
  Set the desired hierarchy as the default for the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Query: If you are using a query designer, ensure that the query is set to use only the selected hierarchy. You may need to adjust the properties of the characteristic in the query.
  
  
  Re-generate the Query View: After making the necessary adjustments, try to regenerate the query view. This can usually be done by saving the query or using the appropriate function in the query designer.
  
  
  Test the Query: Once the changes are made, execute the query to ensure that it runs without errors.
