• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL016 - Temporal join: &1, &2 not allowed ?

  The SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL016, which states "Temporal join: &1, &2 not allowed," typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA or SAP BW when working with data models that involve temporal joins. This error indicates that there is an issue with the way temporal joins are being defined or used in your data model.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incompatible Time Characteristics: The error often arises when the time characteristics of the two tables or data sources being joined are not compatible. For example, one table may have a time dimension defined as a "validity period," while the other may not have a corresponding time dimension.
  
  
  Incorrect Join Type: The join type specified may not be appropriate for the temporal data being used. Temporal joins require specific conditions to be met regarding the time attributes.
  
  
  Missing Time Attributes: One or both of the tables involved in the join may be missing the necessary time attributes that are required for a temporal join.
  
  
  Modeling Errors: There may be errors in the data model configuration, such as incorrect settings in the data flow or model definition.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Time Attributes: Ensure that both tables involved in the temporal join have compatible time attributes. Verify that they both have the necessary time characteristics defined.
  
  
  Review Join Conditions: Examine the join conditions to ensure that they are appropriate for a temporal join. Make sure that the join type is suitable for the data being processed.
  
  
  Adjust Data Model: If necessary, adjust the data model to ensure that the time attributes are correctly defined and that the tables are set up to allow for a temporal join.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure temporal joins in your specific version of SAP HANA or BW.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the data model again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation into the specific configurations of the tables may be required.
