• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER006 - Inactive hierarchy indexes found ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER006 indicates that there are inactive hierarchy indexes found in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with InfoObjects that have hierarchies defined.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Inactive Hierarchies: The hierarchy associated with an InfoObject is inactive, meaning it has not been activated or is not available for reporting.
  Data Model Changes: Changes made to the data model, such as modifications to hierarchies or InfoObjects, can lead to inconsistencies if the changes are not properly activated.
  Transport Issues: If hierarchies were transported from one system to another, they may not have been activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDDTPS_HIER006 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Activate Hierarchies:
  
  Go to the hierarchy maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1 for InfoObjects).
  Locate the InfoObject that is causing the issue.
  Check the hierarchy settings and ensure that all hierarchies are activated. You can do this by selecting the hierarchy and choosing the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check for Inactive Hierarchies:
  
  Use transaction RSH1 to check the status of hierarchies.
  Identify any hierarchies that are marked as inactive and activate them.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Hierarchy Indexes:
  
  If the hierarchies are already active but the error persists, you may need to rebuild the hierarchy indexes.
  You can do this by using transaction RSD1, selecting the InfoObject, and then using the "Rebuild Index" option.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects have been transported and activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks to ensure that there are no other underlying issues with the data model or InfoObjects.
