RS2HANA_VIEW178 - Details

• The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW178 indicates that a hierarchy variable for a specific InfoObject (represented by &1) is being ignored in a query or report. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with HANA views or when using hierarchy variables in queries.
  
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Not Defined: The hierarchy for the specified InfoObject may not be defined or activated in the system.
  Variable Configuration: The variable might not be properly configured in the query or report. This can happen if the variable is not set up to handle hierarchies correctly.
  Incompatible Data Source: The data source being used may not support hierarchy variables, or the hierarchy structure may not be compatible with the data being queried.
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition: Ensure that the hierarchy for the InfoObject is defined and activated in the BW
