• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMD603 - The following time-independent display attr. of char. & are activated ?

  The SAP error message RSDMD603 indicates that there are time-independent display attributes activated for a characteristic in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This message typically arises when you are trying to perform an operation that is not compatible with the current settings of the characteristic.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the characteristic in question has display attributes that are not time-dependent. In SAP BW, characteristics can have attributes that are either time-dependent or time-independent. If you attempt to perform an operation that requires time-dependent attributes while the characteristic is set to time-independent, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDMD603 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the InfoObject that is causing the error.
  Check the attributes of the characteristic to see if they are set as time-independent.
  
  
  
  Modify the Characteristic:
  
  If you need the characteristic to have time-dependent attributes, you may need to modify the InfoObject settings.
  Change the display attributes to be time-dependent if that aligns with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoObject:
  
  After making changes, you may need to re-activate the InfoObject to ensure that the changes take effect.
  This can be done in the InfoObject maintenance screen.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or settings that might be causing the issue. Sometimes, other InfoObjects or queries may be linked to the characteristic.
