• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD116 - Hierarchy &1 is not included in change run ?

  The SAP error message RSDD116, which states "Hierarchy &1 is not included in change run," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the hierarchy not being processed during a data load or change run. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and finding a solution is essential for resolving the issue.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Not Activated: The hierarchy may not be activated or may not be set to be included in the change run.
  Change Run Configuration: The change run may not be configured to include the specific hierarchy.
  Data Source Issues: There may be issues with the data source that prevent the hierarchy from being processed.
  Hierarchy Not Assigned: The hierarchy might not be assigned to the InfoObject or InfoProvider correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was transported from another system, it may not have been properly activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Activation:
  
  Go to the hierarchy maintenance transaction (e.g., RSH1) and ensure that the hierarchy is activated.
  If it is not activated, activate it.
  
  
  
  Review Change Run Configuration:
  
  Check the settings of the change run to ensure that the hierarchy is included. This can be done in the change run settings in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Make sure that the hierarchy is marked for inclusion in the change run.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Source:
  
  Ensure that the data source associated with the hierarchy is functioning correctly and that there are no issues with data extraction.
  
  
  
  Check Assignment:
  
  Verify that the hierarchy is correctly assigned to the relevant InfoObject or InfoProvider. You can do this in the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1).
  
  
  
  Re-transport if Necessary:
  
  If the hierarchy was transported, check the transport logs for any errors. If necessary, re-transport the hierarchy and ensure it is activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Run the Change Run Again:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the change run again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
