• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS185 - Filter annot.: defaultHierarchyNode is ignored: No hierarchy selection ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS185 with the description "Filter annot.: defaultHierarchyNode is ignored: No hierarchy selection" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with CDS (Core Data Services) views and hierarchies. This error indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy selection in your query or report.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Hierarchy Selection: The error suggests that the query is trying to apply a default hierarchy node filter, but there is no hierarchy selected in the query context. This can happen if the hierarchy is not defined or if the query does not include a hierarchy dimension.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The hierarchy might not be properly configured in the underlying data model or the CDS view. This could be due to missing annotations or incorrect settings in the data model.
  
  
  Incompatible Data Model: The data model being queried may not support the hierarchy being referenced, or the hierarchy may not be activated.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Configuration: Ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined in the underlying data model. Verify that the hierarchy is activated and that the necessary annotations are present in the CDS view.
  
  
  Modify Query: If the query is not intended to use a hierarchy, you may need to remove the hierarchy-related filters or annotations from the query. Alternatively, ensure that the query includes the necessary hierarchy selection.
  
  
  Update CDS Annotations: If you are using a CDS view, check the annotations related to the hierarchy. You may need to add or modify the @Hierarchy annotation to ensure that the hierarchy is correctly recognized.
  
  
  Test with Different Hierarchies: If applicable, try selecting a different hierarchy or check if the hierarchy selection is being made correctly in the query.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for specific guidance on handling hierarchies in CDS views and BW queries.
