• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_HCPR117 - LeftOuter: Filter on ON-Condition is not supported in CompositeProvider ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_HCPR117 indicates that there is an issue with the use of a filter on an ON-condition in a CompositeProvider when using a Left Outer Join. This error typically arises when you are trying to apply a filter on a join condition that is not supported in the context of a CompositeProvider.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Left Outer Join Restrictions: In a CompositeProvider, when you use a Left Outer Join, the ON-condition (the condition that defines how the tables are joined) cannot have filters applied to it. This is a limitation in the way CompositeProviders handle joins.
  Filter on Join Condition: If you attempt to filter on the join condition (e.g., using a WHERE clause or a filter in the join definition), it leads to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Remove Filters from ON-Condition: Ensure that you do not apply any filters directly on the ON-condition of the Left Outer Join. Instead, apply filters in the SELECT statement or in the WHERE clause after the join has been performed.
  
  
  Use Inner Joins: If possible, consider using an Inner Join instead of a Left Outer Join, as Inner Joins do not have the same restrictions regarding filters on join conditions.
  
  
  Redesign the CompositeProvider: If the logic requires filtering on the join condition, you may need to redesign your CompositeProvider. This could involve creating separate queries or using different data sources that do not require such filters.
  
  
  Check Data Model: Review the data model and ensure that the relationships between the tables are correctly defined. Sometimes, restructuring the data model can help avoid such issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW documentation for more details on CompositeProviders and the limitations associated with joins and filters.
