  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMK211 - Hierarchy '&1' does not exist for InfoObject '&2' in the BW system '&3' ?

    The SAP error message UMK211 indicates that a hierarchy specified for an InfoObject does not exist in the BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a hierarchy that has not been defined or activated for the specified InfoObject.

    Cause:

    1. Hierarchy Not Created: The hierarchy for the specified InfoObject has not been created in the BW system.
    2. Hierarchy Not Activated: The hierarchy exists but has not been activated or is not available in the current context.
    3. Incorrect Hierarchy Name: The name of the hierarchy provided in the query or report is incorrect or misspelled.
    4. Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was created in a different system (e.g., development) and not transported correctly to the target system (e.g., production), it may not be available.
    5. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy.

    Solution:

    1. Create the Hierarchy: If the hierarchy does not exist, you need to create it in the BW system. This can be done using the transaction code RSH1 (for creating hierarchies).

    3. Check Hierarchy Name: Verify that the hierarchy name used in your query or report matches the name defined in the system. Correct any typos or discrepancies.
    4. Transport Hierarchy: If the hierarchy was created in another system, ensure that it has been properly transported to the target system. You may need to check the transport logs for any issues.
    5. Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the BW system.
