How To Fix RSRV205 - Check admin. information of hierarchies for one/all characteristics

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRV -

• Message number: 205

• Message text: Check admin. information of hierarchies for one/all characteristics

Description
Information about the hierarchies that are available and the properties
that the hierarchies have is saved in several management tables.
This test checks whether the information is consistent. It checks in
the management table, which contains reporting-relevant information,
whether the same hierarchies are listed as in the management table for
Warehouse Management. It also checks whether each hierarchy that
appears in the management tables is also available in the H table for
the corresponding characteristic.
If the parameter "basic characteristic" remains empty for this test,
all hierarchies in the system are checked. If the name of a basic
characteristic is transferred as the parameter, the test checks only
the hierarchies for this characteristic.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRV205 - Check admin. information of hierarchies for one/all characteristics ?

  The SAP error message RSRV205 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy information for one or more characteristics in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically arises during the execution of the RSRV transaction, which is used for checking the consistency of various objects in the BW system, including InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and hierarchies.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Inconsistent Hierarchies: The hierarchy for a characteristic may be inconsistent or corrupted. This can happen due to data loading issues, changes in the hierarchy structure, or manual modifications that were not properly executed.
  
  
  Missing Hierarchy Nodes: Some nodes in the hierarchy may be missing or not properly defined, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Incorrect Hierarchy Assignment: The hierarchy may not be correctly assigned to the characteristic, or there may be issues with the hierarchy's properties.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be underlying data integrity issues in the InfoObjects or InfoProviders that are related to the hierarchies.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRV205 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Run RSRV Transaction: Execute the RSRV transaction and check the detailed error messages. This will provide you with specific information about which characteristics and hierarchies are causing the issue.
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Consistency:
  
  Navigate to the hierarchy maintenance transaction (e.g., RSH1 for Hierarchy Maintenance).
  Check the hierarchy for the affected characteristic and ensure that all nodes are correctly defined and that there are no missing nodes.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Hierarchies: If the hierarchy is corrupted, you may need to rebuild it. This can be done by deleting the existing hierarchy and recreating it from scratch or by using the hierarchy transport functionality.
  
  
  Check for Missing Nodes: Ensure that all nodes that should be part of the hierarchy are present and correctly linked.
  
  
  Data Load and Update: If the issue arose after a data load, consider reloading the data or performing a delta load to ensure that the hierarchy is updated correctly.
  
  
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify the hierarchies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to hierarchy management and the specific error message for additional guidance.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
