How To Fix TE541 - Risk hierarchy &1 is too big and can not be saved

TE541 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TE - Market Risk Management

• Message number: 541

• Message text: Risk hierarchy &1 is too big and can not be saved

What causes this issue?

A risk hierarchy can not contain more than 99,999 nodes. The current
hierarchy, however, exceeds this number, and will therefore not be
saved on the database.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Edit the risk hierarchy. A risk hierarchy with more than 1,000 nodes is
not very realistic, and leads to horribly long processing times.

  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in your SAP system that limit the size of the risk hierarchy.
