• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSSEM052 - Remote InfoObject &1 does not have a unique hierarchy DataSource ?

  The SAP error message RSSEM052 indicates that there is an issue with a remote InfoObject that does not have a unique hierarchy DataSource. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with InfoObjects that are sourced from remote systems.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Non-Unique Hierarchy: The InfoObject in question does not have a unique hierarchy defined in the remote system. This means that there may be multiple hierarchies available for the InfoObject, and the system cannot determine which one to use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the DataSource or the InfoObject settings that prevent the system from identifying the correct hierarchy.
  DataSource Issues: The DataSource may not be properly set up to handle the hierarchy for the InfoObject, or it may not be activated.
