• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSWADMDERR1337 - bi:attribute &1 cannot be child node of other bi:attrib. &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSWADMDERR1337 indicates that there is a problem with the hierarchy of attributes in your Business Intelligence (BI) model. Specifically, it states that the attribute &1 cannot be a child node of the other attribute &2. This typically occurs in the context of data modeling in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when defining relationships between attributes in a hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  
  Hierarchy Structure Violation: The error usually arises when you are trying to create a hierarchy where the child attribute does not logically fit under the parent attribute. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect attribute relationships defined in the data model.
  Attempting to create a hierarchy that violates the business logic or data integrity rules.
  The attributes may not have a valid parent-child relationship as per the defined data model.
  
  
  
  Data Model Configuration: There might be issues in the configuration of the InfoObject or the way attributes are defined in the InfoProvider.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Hierarchy Definitions: Check the definitions of the attributes involved. Ensure that the parent-child relationship you are trying to establish is valid and makes sense in the context of your data model.
  
  
  Adjust Attribute Relationships: If the relationship is incorrect, you may need to adjust the attribute relationships. This could involve:
  
  Changing the parent attribute to a different one that logically fits.
  Removing the child attribute from the hierarchy if it does not belong.
  
  
  
  Check Data Model Configuration: Ensure that the InfoObject settings are correctly configured. This includes checking the hierarchy settings and ensuring that the attributes are correctly defined.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the hierarchy to ensure that it works as expected without generating errors.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the relationships or configurations, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a BI expert who can provide guidance based on your specific data model.
