• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T8146 - No indices have been maintained for scenario & ?

  The SAP error message T8146 ("No indices have been maintained for scenario &") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to execute a query or report that relies on a specific data scenario for which no indices have been created or maintained. This can prevent the system from efficiently retrieving the required data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Indices: The primary cause of this error is that the necessary indices for the specified scenario have not been created or activated in the system.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes to the data model (like changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or queries), the indices may need to be re-created.
  Transport Issues: If the scenario was transported from one system to another, the indices may not have been included in the transport.
  Data Load Issues: If there were issues during data loading, it might have resulted in incomplete or missing indices.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Indices:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Navigate to the InfoProvider or the specific scenario that is causing the error.
  Check if indices are maintained. If not, you can create or activate them.
  For InfoCubes, you can use the "Manage" option to create indices.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Indices:
  
  If indices exist but are not functioning correctly, you may need to rebuild them. This can often be done through the same management interface.
  For InfoCubes, you can use the "Manage" option to rebuild the indices.
  
  
  
  Check Data Load:
  
  Ensure that the data load process has completed successfully without errors. If there were issues, resolve them and reload the data.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the scenario was transported, ensure that all necessary objects, including indices, were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP BW or HANA you are using for any additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
