• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPC_FW139 - Hierarchy &1 and the selections belonging to it were deleted ?

  The SAP error message UPC_FW139 indicates that a hierarchy and its associated selections have been deleted. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud when dealing with planning functions or data models that rely on hierarchies.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the hierarchy referenced in your planning function or data model has been deleted. This could happen due to changes in the data model, user actions, or system updates.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the underlying InfoObjects, it may lead to inconsistencies where the system can no longer find the hierarchy.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary objects, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Existence: Verify if the hierarchy still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoObject and checking the hierarchy settings.
  Recreate the Hierarchy: If the hierarchy has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. This involves defining the hierarchy structure and reassigning any necessary attributes or nodes.
  Update Planning Functions: If the hierarchy has been changed or recreated, ensure that any planning functions or queries that reference this hierarchy are updated accordingly.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and successfully transported.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
