• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA851 - Enter a value greater than 0 for parameter '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA851 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user is trying to execute a query or a report that requires a certain parameter to be set. The message indicates that a parameter (denoted as &1 in the error message) must be greater than 0, but the value provided is either 0 or not set.
  Cause:
  
  Parameter Value: The most common cause of this error is that a required parameter (like a threshold, limit, or count) has been set to 0 or is missing. This could be due to user input, default settings, or a configuration issue.
  Data Selection: The query or report may be designed to filter or limit data based on the parameter, and a value of 0 does not make sense in the context of the operation being performed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the InfoProvider or the query that lead to this parameter being incorrectly set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Input: Review the input values for the parameter in question. Ensure that the value is greater than 0. If the parameter is user-defined, prompt the user to enter a valid value.
  Default Values: If the parameter is supposed to have a default value, check the configuration to ensure that it is set correctly. You may need to adjust the default settings in the query or report.
  Query Design: If you have access to the query designer, check the query definition to ensure that the parameter is correctly defined and that there are no constraints that would lead to it being set to 0.
  Testing: After making changes, test the query or report again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details about the parameter and its expected values.
