  The SAP error message RS_DB_DB2061, which states "Level of node &1 is too high," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with the hierarchy levels in a data model or InfoObject. This error indicates that the level of a node in a hierarchy exceeds the maximum allowed level.
  Cause:

  Check Hierarchy Definition: Review the hierarchy definition for the InfoObject in question. Ensure that the levels are correctly defined and that no node is set to a level that exceeds the maximum allowed.
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and check the hierarchy settings.
  
  
  
  Validate Data: If the error occurs during data loading, validate the data being loaded to ensure that it conforms to the hierarchy structure. Look for any records that may have incorrect level assignments.
  
  
  Adjust Node Levels: If you find nodes that are incorrectly assigned to levels, adjust them to fit within the allowed hierarchy levels.
  
  
  Reprocess Data: After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the data load or the query that triggered the error to see if the issue is resolved.
