• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER003 - Selected indexes deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER003 indicates that selected indexes have been deleted in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA. This error typically occurs when there are issues related to the data model, specifically with the hierarchies or the InfoObjects that are being used in your queries or reports.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Hierarchies: The most common cause is that the hierarchy associated with the InfoObject has been deleted or is no longer available.
  Changes in InfoObjects: If there have been changes to the InfoObjects (like deletion or modification) that affect the hierarchy, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was transported from one system to another and the transport was not successful, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to the InfoProvider or InfoObject, can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchies: Verify if the hierarchy associated with the InfoObject is still available. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup.
  Rebuild Indexes: If the hierarchy is valid but the indexes are missing, you can try to rebuild the indexes. This can be done through the transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and navigating to the relevant InfoObject or InfoProvider.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  Data Model Validation: Validate the data model to ensure that all objects are correctly defined and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Re-activate the InfoObject: Sometimes, re-activating the InfoObject can resolve the issue. You can do this in the InfoObject maintenance screen.
  Check for Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchies and InfoObjects.
