  The SAP error message RSQBW003 indicates that a time-dependent attribute has been added to an InfoProvider, which can lead to issues if the InfoProvider is not properly configured to handle time-dependent attributes. This message typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when changes are made to the data model.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A time-dependent attribute is added to an InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or DataStore Object).
  The existing data model or queries do not account for the new time-dependent attribute.
  The InfoProvider is not activated or has not been updated to reflect the changes made.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSQBW003 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the InfoProvider Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the InfoProvider is correctly configured to handle time-dependent attributes. This may involve checking the settings in the InfoObject and ensuring that the time characteristics are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Activate the InfoProvider:

  Update Queries:
  
  If there are existing queries that use the InfoProvider, you may need to update them to include the new time-dependent attribute. This can involve modifying the query definition to ensure it correctly handles the time-dependent data.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Aggregates:
  
  If aggregates are used, consider rebuilding them to ensure they reflect the changes made to the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  After making the necessary changes, check for data consistency and ensure that the data is being loaded correctly with the new time-dependent attribute.
