• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGX4604 - You need to restrict variable &1 with a value ?

  The SAP error message UGX4604 indicates that a variable in a query or report needs to be restricted with a specific value. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to execute a query that requires certain variables to be filled in or restricted to specific values.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A query is executed that includes a variable that has not been provided with a value.
  The variable is defined as mandatory in the query definition, meaning it must be filled in before the query can run.
  The variable is not set to allow for default values or is not being populated correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UGX4604 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Look for the variable that is causing the issue (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that the variable is set up correctly and is marked as mandatory if it should be.
  
  
  
  Provide a Value for the Variable:
  
  When executing the query, ensure that you provide a value for the variable in the selection screen.
  If the variable is meant to be filled dynamically, check the logic that populates it.
  
  
  
  Default Values:
  
  If appropriate, consider setting a default value for the variable in the query definition. This can help avoid the error if a user forgets to input a value.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  If the query is being executed by a user, ensure that they are aware of the requirement to input a value for the variable.
  Provide guidance or documentation on how to fill in the variable correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the query again to ensure that the error is resolved.
