  The SAP error message RSR_EXPLAIN008 indicates that there is no exception aggregation defined for a constant in your query when using HANA or BWA (Business Warehouse Accelerator). This typically occurs when you are trying to use exception aggregation in a context where it is not supported.
  Cause:
  
  Exception Aggregation Not Defined: The key reason for this error is that the query is attempting to use exception aggregation on a characteristic that does not have an exception aggregation defined in the InfoObject settings.
  Incompatibility with HANA/BWA: HANA and BWA have specific limitations regarding exception aggregation, and certain types of aggregations may not be supported in these environments.
  Query Design: The design of the query may be attempting to aggregate data in a way that is not compatible with the underlying data model or the capabilities of HANA/BWA.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Exception Aggregation Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Check the settings for exception aggregation and ensure that they are correctly defined for the characteristic in question.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  If exception aggregation is not necessary, consider modifying the query to remove the exception aggregation logic.
  Alternatively, you can redesign the query to avoid using constants that require exception aggregation.
  
  
  
  Use Compatible Aggregation:
  
  If you need to perform aggregations, ensure that you are using standard aggregation methods that are supported by HANA/BWA.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for HANA and BWA to understand the limitations and supported features regarding exception aggregation.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.
