  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJO_READ_EXCEPTION051 - Dimension measures cannot have more than one member in the filter axis. ?

    The SAP error message UJO_READ_EXCEPTION051 indicates that there is an issue with the way dimensions and measures are being filtered in a query or report. Specifically, it states that dimension measures cannot have more than one member in the filter axis. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments when you are trying to apply filters to a query that is not allowed due to the structure of the data model.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple Members in Filter: The error arises when a measure is being filtered by more than one member in the filter axis. For example, if you are trying to filter a measure by multiple values (e.g., multiple product IDs or multiple time periods) at the same time, this can trigger the error.
    2. Query Design: The design of the query may not be compatible with the data model, especially if the measure is not designed to handle multiple values in the filter.
    3. Aggregation Issues: The measure may be set up in a way that it cannot aggregate data correctly when multiple filter values are applied.

    Solution:

    1. Check Filter Settings: Review the filters applied to the query. Ensure that you are only using a single member for the dimension measures in the filter axis. If you need to filter by multiple values, consider using a different approach, such as creating a calculated measure or using a different dimension.
    2. Modify Query Design: If you have control over the query design, consider restructuring it to avoid applying multiple filters on the same measure. You may need to create separate queries for different filter conditions.
    3. Use Variables: If applicable, use variables in your query to allow for dynamic filtering without violating the constraints of the measure.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on how to structure queries and filters correctly in your version of SAP BW or HANA.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
    • Query Designer: Familiarize yourself with the Query Designer tool in SAP BW, which can help you visualize and adjust the structure of your queries.
    • Data Model: Understanding the underlying data model and how measures and dimensions interact can help prevent this error in the future.
    • Training and Resources: Consider training sessions or resources on SAP BW or HANA query design to better understand how to avoid common pitfalls.

    By addressing the filter settings and ensuring that your query design aligns with the data model, you should be able to resolve the UJO_READ_EXCEPTION051 error.
