• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSB4HANA249 - No data slices found. ?

  The SAP error message RSB4HANA249, which states "No data slices found," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) on HANA when trying to execute a query or data extraction process. This error indicates that the system could not find any data slices for the requested query or data model, which means that there are no relevant data records available for the specified selection criteria.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Loaded: The most common cause is that there is no data loaded into the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) that the query is trying to access.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria applied in the query may be too restrictive, leading to no data being returned.
  Data Slice Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of data slices in the HANA database, which could prevent data from being accessed.
  Data Aging: If data aging is implemented, the data might have been archived or moved to a different storage location.
  Query Design: The query might be incorrectly designed, leading to no valid data being fetched.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Load: Verify that data has been successfully loaded into the InfoProvider. You can do this by checking the data in the relevant InfoProvider using transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Review Selection Criteria: Examine the selection criteria in the query. Try running the query with broader criteria to see if any data is returned.
  Data Slice Configuration: Check the configuration of data slices in the HANA database. Ensure that the data slices are correctly defined and that they correspond to the data you expect to retrieve.
  Data Aging: If data aging is in place, check if the data you are trying to access has been archived. You may need to adjust your query or access the archived data.
  Query Design: Review the query design in the Query Designer. Ensure that all necessary characteristics and key figures are included and that there are no filters that would exclude all data.
  Check for Errors in Data Load: Look for any errors or warnings in the data load process that might indicate why data is missing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 for data modeling and monitoring, and RSRT for executing queries.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW on HANA documentation for best practices on data modeling and query design.
