RS2HANA_VIEW180 - Details

• The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW180 indicates that the query you are trying to execute contains unsupported time characteristic hierarchies. This typically occurs when you are working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) queries that are being executed in a HANA environment, and the query includes time characteristics that are not compatible with the HANA database.
  
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Time Characteristics: The query may include time characteristics that are defined with hierarchies that are not supported in the HANA environment. For example, if you have a time dimension that uses a hierarchy (like Year > Quarter > Month) and the HANA database does not support this structure, you will encounter this error.
  Incompatibility with HANA: Certain features or configurations in BW queries may not be fully compatible with HANA, especially if they rely on specific BW functionalities that do not translate well to HANA's data model.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Query: Check the query definition in the BW system.
