• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSR_PE - TREX Planning Engine

• Message number: 051

• Message text: InfoProvider &1 has TIMS or DATS key figure &2. Cannot run in PAK.

What causes this issue?

InfoProvider &1 contains key figure &2 with format DATS or TIMS. This
prevents the whole scenario from running as SAP HANA-optimized.

System Response

As described in SAP Note 1637199, this key figure makes the whole
scenario run using classic IP-based planning, rather than as SAP
HANA-optimized with PAK. The performance of planning actions like
executing sequences is the same as in classic BW-IP.

How to fix this error?

Either remove key figure &2 from your InfoProvider, create a copy of the
InfoProvider without this key figure, or change the key figure type, in
order to run the scenario as SAP HANA-optimized.

Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSR_PE051 - InfoProvider &1 has TIMS or DATS key figure &2. Cannot run in PAK. ?

  The SAP error message RSR_PE051 indicates that there is an issue with the InfoProvider you are trying to use in the context of the PAK (Performance Analysis Kit) or similar reporting tools. Specifically, the error points out that the InfoProvider contains a TIMS (Time Stamp) or DATS (Date) key figure, which is not supported in the context of the PAK.
  Cause:
  
  TIMS or DATS Key Figures: The InfoProvider you are using has key figures defined as TIMS (time stamp) or DATS (date), which are not compatible with the PAK functionality. PAK typically requires key figures to be in a numeric format for performance analysis.
  Data Model Design: The design of the data model may not align with the requirements of the PAK, leading to this error when attempting to execute queries or reports.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Key Figures: Check the key figures in the InfoProvider. If they are defined as TIMS or DATS, consider changing them to a numeric format if possible. This may involve modifying the underlying data model or creating a new InfoProvider that meets the requirements.
  Create a New InfoProvider: If changing the existing key figures is not feasible, you may need to create a new InfoProvider that excludes TIMS or DATS key figures and is designed specifically for use with PAK.
  Use Alternative Reporting Tools: If the TIMS or DATS key figures are essential for your reporting needs, consider using alternative reporting tools that support these data types instead of PAK.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for best practices regarding the use of key figures in PAK and how to structure your InfoProviders accordingly.
