• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMDP896 - No dependent aggregates or BWA indexes found ?

  The SAP error message RSMDP896 indicates that there are no dependent aggregates or BWA (Business Warehouse Accelerator) indexes found for a specific InfoProvider or query. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to execute a query or access data that relies on aggregates or BWA indexes for performance optimization.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Aggregates: The InfoProvider does not have any aggregates defined. Aggregates are pre-calculated summaries of data that improve query performance.
  Missing BWA Indexes: The BWA indexes, which are used to speed up query performance in SAP BW, are not created or are not available for the InfoProvider.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that does not utilize existing aggregates or indexes effectively.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or InfoProvider structure may have led to the loss of aggregates or indexes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create Aggregates:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the InfoProvider in question.
  Create or adjust aggregates as necessary to ensure that they are available for the queries that will be executed.
  
  
  
  Create BWA Indexes:
  
  If you are using BWA, ensure that the BWA indexes are created for the InfoProvider.
  You can do this by going to the BWA administration and creating the necessary indexes for the relevant InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  Check Query Design:
  
  Review the query design in the Query Designer (transaction RSRT).
  Ensure that the query is set up to utilize the available aggregates or BWA indexes.
  
  
  
  Re-activate InfoProvider:
  
  Sometimes, re-activating the InfoProvider can help in refreshing the aggregates and indexes.
  You can do this in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Model Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that aggregates and indexes are updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of BW you are using for any additional troubleshooting steps or considerations.
