• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_LOG120 - Rest aggregation must be disabled (Top N &1) ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_LOG120 Rest aggregation must be disabled (Top N &1) typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to execute a query that involves a "Top N" filter or aggregation, but the system requires that the "Rest aggregation" option be disabled for that specific query.
  Cause:
  
  Top N Filter: The error is triggered when a query is set to retrieve only the top N records based on a certain measure or characteristic, but the query is also trying to perform a rest aggregation (i.e., aggregating the remaining records that are not included in the Top N).
  Query Design: The query design may not be compatible with the aggregation settings. If the query is set to show only the top N results, the system cannot perform a rest aggregation simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the query settings in the SAP BW Query Designer or the relevant tool you are using:
  
  
  Disable Rest Aggregation:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Navigate to the properties of the query or the specific InfoProvider.
  Look for the option related to "Rest Aggregation" or similar settings.
  Disable the "Rest Aggregation" option.
  
  
  
  Adjust Top N Settings:
  
  Ensure that the Top N settings are correctly configured. You may need to review the criteria for the Top N selection to ensure it aligns with your reporting requirements.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the changes, save the query and execute it again to see if the error persists.
