• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCRM149 - Condition &1 refers to characteristic &2, which is not defined in query ?

  The SAP error message RSCRM149 indicates that there is a problem with a characteristic in a query that is not defined or recognized in the context of the query. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer).
  Cause:
  The error message RSCRM149 is triggered when:
  
  A characteristic (e.g., a dimension or attribute) referenced in the query is not defined in the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object).
  The characteristic may have been deleted or not included in the query definition.
  There may be a mismatch between the query definition and the underlying data model, such as changes in the InfoObject or InfoProvider structure.
  The characteristic is not activated or is in a state that prevents it from being used in the query.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSCRM149 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Open the query in the BEx Query Designer.
  Verify that all characteristics used in the query are correctly defined and available in the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Review InfoProvider:
  
  Go to the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube or DataStore Object) and check if the characteristic in question is present.
  If the characteristic has been deleted or is not included, you may need to modify the query or update the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoObject:
  
  If the characteristic is defined but not active, you may need to reactivate the InfoObject in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., adding or removing characteristics), ensure that the query is updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Query:
  
  If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the query from scratch, ensuring that all characteristics are correctly included.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the query was transported from one system to another, ensure that all related objects (like InfoObjects and InfoProviders) were also transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check InfoProviders and InfoObjects.
  BEx Query Designer: Familiarize yourself with the BEx Query Designer for creating and modifying queries.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
