• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD453 - '&2': Characteristic '&1' automatically included in definition ?

  The SAP error message RSDD453 indicates that a characteristic has been automatically included in the definition of a query or InfoProvider due to its relationship with other characteristics or the structure of the data model. 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:
  
  
  Data Model Relationships: The characteristic that is being automatically included may have a defined relationship with another characteristic in the data model. For example, if you have a characteristic that is dependent on another characteristic (like a hierarchy), SAP BW will automatically include it to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  
  
  Query Definition: When defining a query, if certain characteristics are required to maintain the context or to ensure that the data can be aggregated correctly, SAP will include them automatically.
  
  
  Aggregation and Filtering: If the query requires certain characteristics for aggregation or filtering purposes, SAP may include them to ensure that the query can execute properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Query Definition: Check the query definition in the BEx Query Designer. Look for any dependencies or relationships between characteristics that might necessitate the inclusion of the characteristic in question.
  
  
  Adjust Characteristics: If the automatic inclusion is not desired, you may need to adjust the characteristics in your query or InfoProvider. This could involve changing the structure of your data model or the way characteristics are related.
  
  
  Check InfoObjects: Review the InfoObjects involved in the query. Ensure that the characteristics are defined correctly and that their relationships are as intended.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how characteristics are handled in queries and InfoProviders.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the query to ensure that it behaves as expected and that the automatic inclusion of the characteristic does not affect the results negatively.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional context.
  
  By understanding the relationships and dependencies in your data model, you can better manage how characteristics are included in your queries and avoid unexpected behavior.
