• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_SMA005 - Only Basic Info Cubes can be processed. &1 is not a basic cube. ?

  The SAP error message RS_SMA005 indicates that the system is trying to process a data object that is not a Basic InfoCube. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are attempting to perform operations that are only applicable to Basic InfoCubes, but the object in question is not classified as such.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The object you are trying to process (e.g., during data loading, reporting, or querying) is not a Basic InfoCube. It could be a different type of InfoProvider, such as a MultiProvider, CompositeProvider, or an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO).
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data flow or the query that is leading to the system attempting to process a non-Basic InfoCube.
  Query Design: If you are using a query that is designed to work with Basic InfoCubes, but the underlying data source is not a Basic InfoCube, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of the InfoProvider you are trying to access. Ensure that it is indeed a Basic InfoCube if you intend to perform operations that require one.
  Adjust Queries: If you are working with queries, ensure that they are designed to work with the correct type of InfoProvider. If you need to work with a different type of InfoProvider, you may need to redesign the query.
  Data Flow Configuration: Review the data flow and ensure that the correct InfoProviders are being used in the data loading process. If you are using a MultiProvider or CompositeProvider, ensure that they are correctly configured to include Basic InfoCubes if needed.
  Use Alternative InfoProviders: If your analysis requires a different type of InfoProvider, consider using an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) or a MultiProvider that can aggregate data from various sources, including Basic InfoCubes.
