• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDTM057 - Hierarchy "&1" contains intervals (currently not supported) ?

  The SAP error message RSDTM057 indicates that there is an issue with a hierarchy in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, the error states that the hierarchy you are trying to use contains intervals, which are currently not supported in the context you are working in.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  Hierarchy Definition: The hierarchy you are trying to use has been defined with intervals (ranges of values) rather than discrete values. SAP BW does not support hierarchies that include intervals in certain contexts, such as when you are trying to use them in queries or reports.
  Data Model: The data model or the InfoObject associated with the hierarchy may not be configured to handle interval-based hierarchies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDTM057 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition:
  
  Go to the hierarchy definition in the SAP BW system.
  Verify if the hierarchy is defined with intervals. If it is, you will need to redefine the hierarchy to use discrete values instead of intervals.
  
  
  
  Modify the Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy is indeed using intervals, consider creating a new hierarchy that uses only individual values. This may involve restructuring your data or how it is categorized.
  
  
  
  Review InfoObject Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the InfoObject associated with the hierarchy. Ensure that it is set up to support the type of hierarchy you need (i.e., without intervals).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to hierarchies in BW to understand the limitations and best practices for defining hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the hierarchy in the context where the error occurred to ensure that it is functioning correctly without the intervals.
