• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW096 - ON condition not permitted for antijoin &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW096 indicates that there is an issue with the use of an "ON" condition in an anti-join operation in a query. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create or execute a query that involves an anti-join, but the conditions specified are not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Anti-Join Restrictions: In SAP BW, anti-joins are used to filter out records from one dataset based on the absence of corresponding records in another dataset. However, the use of "ON" conditions (which specify how the two datasets relate to each other) is not permitted in this context.
  Query Design: The query may have been designed incorrectly, where an anti-join is being used with conditions that are not compatible with the anti-join logic.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSQBW096 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Query Design:
  
  Check the query definition in the Query Designer.
  Ensure that you are not using "ON" conditions in the anti-join. Instead, focus on the logic that defines the anti-join without additional conditions.
  
  
  
  Modify the Anti-Join:
  
  If you need to filter records based on certain conditions, consider using a different type of join or filter that allows for those conditions.
  You may need to redesign the query to achieve the desired results without using an anti-join.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP BW documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly implement joins and anti-joins in your queries.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
