How To Fix RSPLS_CR011 - Cannot generate combinations in step '&1'

RSPLS_CR011 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSPLS_CR - Messages on Characteristic Relationships/Data Slices

• Message number: 011

• Message text: Cannot generate combinations in step '&1'

What causes this issue?

The query is parameterized so that aggregation level combinations are
created for certain characteristics, depending on how the characteristic
relationships are maintained. However, in the current step '&V1&', no
combinations have been generated.

System Response

Manual planning is not possible because valid combinations could not be
created within the selection.

How to fix this error?

Check the characteristic values that are used in the query filter. If
you use different characteristic values, the system can create
combinations where required.
If valid combinations are required for the current query filter, you
need to correct the settings for the step &V1& in characteristic
relationship maintenance, in the context of the current InfoCube &V2&'.
