• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCV184 - InfoCube & does not contain a dimension ?

  The SAP error message RSCV184 indicates that an InfoCube does not contain a specific dimension that is expected or required for a certain operation. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with InfoCubes and dimensions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Dimension: The most common cause of this error is that the InfoCube is defined without a dimension that is necessary for the query or data processing you are attempting to perform.
  Incorrect Query Definition: If a query is designed to use a dimension that is not part of the InfoCube, this error will occur.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as removing a dimension from the InfoCube or modifying its structure, can lead to this error if the queries or reports are not updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoCube was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies in the dimensions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoCube Structure: Verify the structure of the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1). Ensure that all necessary dimensions are included.
  Update Queries: If the InfoCube structure is correct, check the queries that are using this InfoCube. Make sure that they are not referencing any dimensions that do not exist in the InfoCube.
  Rebuild Queries: If necessary, rebuild the queries to align with the current structure of the InfoCube.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects (like dimensions and queries) were transported correctly and are consistent across systems.
  Check for Data Load Issues: Sometimes, data load processes can fail if they expect certain dimensions. Ensure that data loads are functioning correctly and that they align with the InfoCube structure.
