• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_LM078 - At least one provider other than the CompositeProvider must be selected ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_LM078, which states "At least one provider other than the CompositeProvider must be selected," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with CompositeProviders. This error indicates that the system requires at least one underlying data provider (like InfoProviders, DSOs, or other CompositeProviders) to be selected in a query or a data model, in addition to the CompositeProvider itself.
  Cause:
  
  CompositeProvider Configuration: The CompositeProvider is designed to combine data from multiple sources. If you attempt to execute a query or a data model that only references the CompositeProvider without including any of its underlying providers, the system cannot retrieve any data.
  Query Design: In the query designer, if you have not selected any of the underlying providers that the CompositeProvider is built upon, this error will occur.
  Data Model Issues: If the CompositeProvider is not properly configured to include the necessary InfoProviders, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select Underlying Providers: When creating or executing a query, ensure that you select at least one underlying provider in addition to the CompositeProvider. This can be done in the query designer by adding the relevant InfoProviders.
  Check CompositeProvider Configuration: Review the configuration of the CompositeProvider to ensure that it is correctly set up with the necessary underlying providers. Make sure that the data sources are active and accessible.
  Modify Query: If you are using a query that references the CompositeProvider, modify the query to include at least one of the underlying providers.
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the query or data model again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes and Documentation: For more detailed troubleshooting steps or specific configurations, refer to SAP Notes or the official SAP documentation related to CompositeProviders and query design.
