• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER105 - Hierarchy &1 is being indexed ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER105 indicates that a hierarchy is currently being indexed, which means that the system is processing the hierarchy data and it is not available for use until the indexing is complete. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Indexing Process: The hierarchy is in the process of being indexed, which is a background task that prepares the hierarchy for efficient querying and reporting.
  Long-Running Indexing: The indexing process may take longer than expected due to a large volume of data or system performance issues.
  Concurrent Processes: Other processes or transactions may be trying to access the hierarchy while it is still being indexed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait until the indexing process is complete. You can check the status of the indexing in the SAP system.
  Monitor Background Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 to monitor background jobs and see if the indexing job is still running. If it is taking too long, you may need to investigate further.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the hierarchy that might be causing delays.
  Re-indexing: If the indexing process seems to be stuck or has failed, you may need to manually trigger a re-indexing of the hierarchy. This can typically be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench or relevant transaction codes.
  System Performance: If indexing is consistently slow, consider reviewing system performance, including database performance, memory allocation, and other resource constraints.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSD1 (to manage InfoObjects), RSD2 (to manage InfoProviders), and RSD3 (to manage hierarchies).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to hierarchy indexing.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on managing hierarchies and indexing in BW systems.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if you suspect a bug or system issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RSDDTPS_HIER105 error and ensure that your hierarchy is properly indexed and available for use.
