• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW145 - Characteristic &1 is not selected as an InfoProvider ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW145 indicates that a specific characteristic (denoted as &1) is not selected as an InfoProvider in the context of a query or report. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a query that references a characteristic that is not included in the InfoProvider (such as an InfoCube or a DataStore Object).
  Cause:
  
  Characteristic Not Included: The characteristic you are trying to use in your query is not part of the InfoProvider's structure. This can happen if the characteristic was removed or not added during the design of the InfoProvider.
  Query Design Issues: The query may have been designed incorrectly, referencing characteristics that are not available in the underlying data model.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model (like adding or removing fields) may not have been reflected in the query.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Structure:
  
  Go to the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube or DSO) in the SAP BW system.
  Verify if the characteristic in question is included in the InfoProvider structure. If it is not, you may need to add it.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Check the characteristics used in the query and ensure that they are all part of the InfoProvider.

  Rebuild the Query:
  
  If the query is complex and you are unsure about the changes, consider rebuilding the query from scratch, ensuring that only valid characteristics are included.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes were made to the InfoProvider or the query in a development environment, ensure that these changes are transported to the production environment correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Aggregates:
