• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRA1012 - Default variables are not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSRA1012, which states "Default variables are not possible," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a query that uses default values for variables that are not allowed in the current context. This can happen for various reasons, such as the configuration of the query, the characteristics involved, or the settings of the variables.
  Causes:
  
  Variable Configuration: The variables in the query may not be set up to allow default values. This can happen if the variable is defined as mandatory or if it is not configured to accept default values.
  Query Design: The query might be designed in such a way that it does not support default values for certain characteristics or filters.
  Data Source Issues: The underlying data source may not support the use of default values for the variables defined in the query.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, user authorizations can restrict the ability to use certain variables or default values.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Variable Settings: Go to the query designer and check the settings of the variables. Ensure that the variables are configured to allow default values if that is the intended behavior.
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Select the variable in question and check its properties.
  Ensure that the "Default Value" option is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Modify Query Design: If the query design does not support default values, consider modifying the query to either remove the requirement for default values or to redesign the query to accommodate them.
  
  
  Review Data Source: Ensure that the data source being used for the query supports the use of default values for the variables. If not, you may need to adjust the data source or the way the query is constructed.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Check if the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to use the variables. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the query again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation may be needed to identify any other underlying issues.
