• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_LM131 - Only central providers (apart from analytic indexes) allowed as UNIONs ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_LM131 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a Union in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environment. This error typically arises when you attempt to create a Union of InfoProviders that are not compatible with the requirements for Union operations in SAP BW.
  Cause:
  The error message "Only central providers (apart from analytic indexes) allowed as UNIONs" suggests that the Union operation you are trying to perform is not valid because one or more of the InfoProviders involved in the Union are not central providers. In SAP BW, a central provider is typically a DataStore Object (DSO) or an InfoCube. The Union operation can only be performed on these types of providers, and not on other types like InfoObjects or non-central providers.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check InfoProviders: Review the InfoProviders you are trying to include in the Union. Ensure that all of them are central providers (e.g., DSOs or InfoCubes).
  
  
  Modify the Union: If you have included non-central providers, you will need to remove them from the Union. Only include DSOs or InfoCubes.
  
  
  Create a New Union: If necessary, create a new Union that only includes valid central providers. 
  
  
  Use Analytic Indexes: If you need to include other types of providers, consider using analytic indexes if they fit your requirements.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP BW documentation for more details on the types of InfoProviders and their compatibility with Union operations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoProviders: Understand the different types of InfoProviders in SAP BW, including DSOs, InfoCubes, MultiProviders, and CompositeProviders.
  Union Operations: Familiarize yourself with how Union operations work in SAP BW and the specific requirements for creating them.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  By ensuring that you are only using central providers in your Union operations, you should be able to resolve the RSDD_LM131 error and successfully create your desired Union.
