• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_HDB_INDEX100 - Column views for InfoProviders are only supported on SAP In-Memory DB ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_HDB_INDEX100 indicates that there is an issue related to the use of column views for InfoProviders in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to access or utilize them in a non-SAP HANA database environment. This error typically arises when you attempt to use features that are specifically designed for SAP HANA, but your system is not configured to use HANA as the underlying database.
  Cause:
  
  Database Compatibility: The error occurs because the InfoProvider you are trying to access is designed to work with SAP HANA's in-memory capabilities, which are not available in other database systems (like Oracle, SQL Server, etc.).
  Configuration Issues: The BW system may be configured to use HANA-specific features, but the underlying database is not HANA.
  Incorrect InfoProvider Type: You may be trying to use a type of InfoProvider that is only supported on HANA, such as certain types of CompositeProviders or Advanced DSO.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Database Type: Ensure that your BW system is running on an SAP HANA database. If it is not, you will need to either migrate your BW system to HANA or avoid using HANA-specific features.
  Review InfoProvider Configuration: If you are not using HANA, check the configuration of your InfoProviders. Make sure you are not using features that are exclusive to HANA.
  Use Compatible InfoProviders: If you cannot migrate to HANA, use InfoProviders that are compatible with your current database system. Avoid using CompositeProviders or other advanced features that require HANA.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for your specific version of BW to understand which features are supported on your database and which are not.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Migration to HANA: If you are considering migrating to SAP HANA, review SAP's migration guides and best practices for BW on HANA.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  SAP BW/4HANA: If you are using BW/4HANA, ensure that you are familiar with the specific features and limitations of that version.
  
  By addressing the underlying cause of the error and ensuring that your system configuration aligns with the requirements of the InfoProviders you are using, you should be able to resolve the issue.
