• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBPCA_EXCEPTION047 - Model of type &1 cannot be used when creating a local CompositeProvider ?

  The SAP error message RSBPCA_EXCEPTION047 indicates that there is an issue with the model type being used when attempting to create a local CompositeProvider in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA. Specifically, the error states that the model of type &1 cannot be used for this purpose.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incompatible Model Type: The model you are trying to use (indicated by &1) is not compatible with the creation of a local CompositeProvider. For example, certain types of InfoProviders or models (like certain types of ADSOs or other non-compatible objects) cannot be used in this context.
  
  
  Model Status: The model might not be in an active or usable state. If the model is not activated or has errors, it cannot be used in a CompositeProvider.
  
  
  Technical Restrictions: There may be technical restrictions in the system that prevent certain model types from being used in CompositeProviders.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Model Type: Verify the type of the model you are trying to use. Ensure that it is a compatible model type for a local CompositeProvider. Typically, you should use ADSOs or other compatible InfoProviders.
  
  
  Model Activation: Ensure that the model is activated. If it is not activated, activate it in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for CompositeProviders to understand which model types are supported. This will help you identify if the model you are using is appropriate.
  
  
  Create a New Model: If the current model cannot be used, consider creating a new model that is compatible with the CompositeProvider.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this issue. Sometimes, specific versions of SAP BW/4HANA may have known issues that are documented in SAP Notes.
  
  
  System Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or BW administrator to ensure that the system is set up correctly.
