• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJW_EXCEPTION030 - Cannot include children when the owner dimension member is a base member ?

  The SAP error message UJW_EXCEPTION030 indicates that there is an issue with the way you are trying to include child members in a dimension when the owner dimension member is a base member. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) environments when working with hierarchies or dimension structures.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to include child members of a dimension while the parent member (the owner dimension member) is a base member. In SAP BW/BPC, base members are the lowest level members in a hierarchy and do not have any children. Therefore, trying to include children under a base member is not valid and results in this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Hierarchy Structure: Ensure that the member you are trying to use as the owner is not a base member. If it is, you need to select a valid parent member that can have children.
  
  
  Use a Valid Parent Member: If you need to include children, make sure to select a member that is not a base member and has child members associated with it.
  
  
  Review Dimension Settings: Check the settings of the dimension in question to ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined and that the relationships between members are properly established.
  
  
  Adjust Your Query or Script: If you are using a query or script to include members, modify it to ensure that you are referencing the correct parent members that can include children.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the hierarchy or dimension structure, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly set up and manage dimensions and hierarchies.
