• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL017 - Temporal join: SAP HANA objects not allowed (&2, &1) ?

  The SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL017 typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA when you are trying to perform a temporal join using objects that are not supported for this operation. This error indicates that the objects you are attempting to join (denoted by placeholders &1 and &2 in the error message) are not compatible with the temporal join requirements.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that one or both of the objects involved in the temporal join are not temporal tables or views. In SAP HANA, temporal joins require that at least one of the tables or views being joined is a temporal table, which is designed to handle time-based data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Types: Verify that the objects you are trying to join are indeed temporal tables or views. You can do this by checking the definitions of the tables/views in the SAP HANA database.
  
  
  Convert to Temporal Tables: If the objects are not temporal, consider converting them into temporal tables. This involves creating a new table that includes the necessary time attributes (e.g., validity period) and populating it with the relevant data.
  
  
  Use Compatible Objects: If you cannot convert the objects to temporal tables, you may need to redesign your query or data model to use compatible objects that can be joined without temporal constraints.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP HANA documentation for more details on temporal tables and the requirements for performing temporal joins. This can provide insights into how to structure your data appropriately.
  
  
  Test with Simple Queries: If you're unsure about the compatibility of your objects, try running simpler queries to isolate the issue. This can help you identify which specific object is causing the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Temporal Tables: In SAP HANA, temporal tables are used to manage data that changes over time. They include system-versioned tables and application-versioned tables.
  Join Types: Understand the different types of joins (inner, outer, etc.) and how they interact with temporal data.
  SAP HANA Studio: Use SAP HANA Studio or other database management tools to inspect the schema and properties of your tables and views.
  SAP Notes and Community: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Community for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the RS_HCPR_MODEL017 error and implement a suitable solution.
