• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPP036 - InfoObject &1 is only an attribute in PartProvider &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSPP036 indicates that the InfoObject you are trying to use is only defined as an attribute in a PartProvider and cannot be used as a key figure or characteristic in the context you are attempting to use it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with data models, queries, or InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  Attribute vs. Characteristic: The InfoObject you are trying to use is defined as an attribute of another characteristic rather than as a standalone characteristic. In SAP BW, attributes are used to provide additional information about a characteristic but do not serve as independent dimensions in queries or data models.
  Modeling Error: You may be trying to use the InfoObject in a context where it is not allowed, such as in a query or a data model that requires a characteristic rather than an attribute.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the InfoObject Definition: Go to the InfoObject in the SAP BW modeling environment and verify its definition. Ensure that it is defined as a characteristic if you intend to use it independently.
  Use the Correct InfoObject: If you need to use the InfoObject in a query or data model, make sure to use the main characteristic that it is associated with, rather than the attribute itself.
  Modify the Data Model: If necessary, you can modify the data model to include the characteristic instead of the attribute. This may involve adjusting the InfoProvider or the query definition.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on how to properly define and use InfoObjects, attributes, and characteristics in your specific context.
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoObjects: In SAP BW, InfoObjects are the building blocks of data modeling. They can be characteristics (dimensions) or key figures (measurable values).
  Attributes: Attributes provide additional descriptive information about characteristics but are not used as independent dimensions in queries.
  PartProviders: These are InfoProviders that can contain both characteristics and attributes, and understanding their structure is crucial for effective data modeling.
  SAP BW Modeling Tools: Familiarize yourself with the SAP BW modeling tools to effectively manage InfoObjects and their relationships.
