• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRV450 - Check hierarchy &1 of characteristic &2 (only active version) ?

  The SAP error message RSRV450 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy of a characteristic in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically arises during the execution of queries or when trying to activate or validate a hierarchy.
  Cause:
  The error message RSRV450 is triggered when:
  
  The hierarchy for a specific characteristic is not active or is inconsistent.
  There may be issues with the structure of the hierarchy, such as missing nodes or incorrect parent-child relationships.
  The hierarchy might not be properly defined or might have been deleted or modified incorrectly.
  The version of the hierarchy being referenced is not the active version.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRV450 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Activation:
  
  Go to the transaction code RSH1 (Hierarchy Maintenance) and check if the hierarchy for the specified characteristic is active.
  If it is not active, activate it.
  
  
  
  Validate Hierarchy:
  
  Use transaction code RSRV (Data Consistency Check) to validate the hierarchy.
  In RSRV, enter the hierarchy name and characteristic, and run the check to identify any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Correct Inconsistencies:
  
  If the validation identifies issues, correct them as necessary. This may involve adding missing nodes, correcting parent-child relationships, or removing invalid entries.
  
  
  
  Check Versioning:
  
  Ensure that you are working with the correct version of the hierarchy. If there are multiple versions, make sure that the active version is the one being referenced in your queries or reports.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Hierarchy:
  
  If the hierarchy is severely corrupted, you may need to rebuild it from scratch. This involves deleting the existing hierarchy and creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the hierarchy was recently transported from another system, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
