• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1204 - Select exactly one InfoCube ?

  The SAP error message RSM1204, which states "Select exactly one InfoCube," typically occurs in the context of data extraction or reporting when the system expects a single InfoCube to be selected, but either none or multiple InfoCubes have been selected instead. This error is common in scenarios involving the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environment, particularly when working with queries or data extraction processes.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple InfoCubes Selected: The user has selected more than one InfoCube in a query or data extraction process.
  No InfoCube Selected: The user has not selected any InfoCube at all.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query or report may be designed in a way that does not properly specify the InfoCube.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently made a selection that does not conform to the requirement of selecting a single InfoCube.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Single InfoCube: Ensure that you select exactly one InfoCube in the selection screen or query definition. If you need to analyze data from multiple InfoCubes, consider creating a composite InfoCube or using a MultiProvider.
  Check Query Design: Review the query or report design to ensure that it is set up to allow for the selection of only one InfoCube. Adjust the settings if necessary.
  Review User Input: Double-check the selections made by the user to ensure that only one InfoCube is selected.
  Use a MultiProvider: If you need to work with data from multiple InfoCubes, consider using a MultiProvider, which allows you to combine data from multiple InfoCubes into a single query.
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoCubes: InfoCubes are the primary data storage objects in SAP BW that store data in a multidimensional format. They are used for reporting and analysis.
  MultiProviders: A MultiProvider is a logical view that allows you to combine data from multiple InfoProviders (like InfoCubes and DataStore Objects) into a single query.
  SAP BW Queries: Queries in SAP BW are used to retrieve and analyze data from InfoCubes and other data sources. Proper design and configuration are essential for successful data retrieval.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP BW administrator or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
