• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS247 - Hierarchy node parameter &1 can only be used with EQUAL and NOT-EQUAL ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS247 typically occurs in the context of using hierarchies in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) queries, particularly when working with CDS (Core Data Services) views. This error indicates that a hierarchy node parameter is being used in a way that is not supported by the system.
  Cause:
  The error message "Hierarchy node parameter &1 can only be used with EQUAL and NOT-EQUAL" suggests that the hierarchy node parameter you are trying to use in your query is being combined with an operator that is not allowed. In SAP BW queries, hierarchy nodes can only be filtered using the EQUAL (=) or NOT-EQUAL (<>) operators. If you attempt to use other operators (like greater than, less than, etc.) with hierarchy nodes, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Query Definition: Review the query definition in the Query Designer or the relevant tool you are using. Look for the hierarchy node parameter that is causing the issue.
  
  
  Modify the Filter Conditions: Ensure that any filters applied to the hierarchy node parameter are using only the EQUAL or NOT-EQUAL operators. Remove any other operators that may be present.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary changes, test the query again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct usage of hierarchy nodes in your specific context, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to BW queries and CDS views.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Hierarchy Nodes: In SAP BW, hierarchy nodes are used to represent structured data, such as organizational units or product categories. They allow users to drill down into data in a structured manner.
  Query Designer: This is the tool used to create and modify queries in SAP BW. It provides a graphical interface for defining data sources, filters, and output formats.
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) are a way to define semantic data models in SAP. They allow for the creation of complex data models that can be consumed by various SAP applications.
