allocation characteristic with a reference to characteristic &V3&.

characteristic.)

How to fix this error?

To continue working in the current consolidation area, first you need to
restore the consistency of the field catalog definition. To do this,
check the role assignment in data basis &V1&, and (if applicable) check
the definition of the relevant InfoObject in the BW System. Then back up
the data basis.
To be able to maintain the data basis, either start the workbench in a
consolidation area that uses a different data basis, or start the
workbench without a consolidation area at all. (In the latter case, you
can only maintain the data basis and the consolidation area.)
If you want to change the consolidation area in order to then start the
ordinary workbench, click on <DS:TRAN.UCMP0>this link</>.
If you want to start the limited workbench without a consolidation area,
click on <DS:TRAN.UCWB02>this link</>.
