  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchies.
  
  Check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Update Queries: If the query is using a characteristic that no longer has hierarchies, you may need to update the query to remove references to the hierarchy or adjust the query settings.
