  • Message text: Field &1: Undoing invalid role assignment (&3)

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The role &V3& has been assigned to field &V1&, which is used internally.
    However, this role is also explicitly assigned in the data model (in
    particular, to field &V2&). The assignment of the role to field &V1& is
    therefore invalid.

    System Response

    The internal assignment of the role to field &V1& is canceled.

    How to fix this error?

    The presence of an outdated internal role assignment can be due to an
    InfoObject having been deleted from the InfoCube for totals records in
    BW.
    Ensure that field &V1& does not receive a role in Consolidation,
    otherwise you have to include it again in the data model.

    Procedure for System Administrators

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