• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS009 - Multiple values (&4) for &1 for Service Definition &2 operation &3 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WEBI_CHECKS009: Multiple values (&4) for &1 for Service Definition &2 operation &3
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when a service definition operation expects a single value for a particular parameter or input, but multiple values are being passed instead. Essentially, the system is receiving multiple values where only one is allowed or expected.
  
  &1: The parameter or field name.
  &2: The service definition name.
  &3: The operation name within the service definition.
  &4: The multiple values that were passed.
  
  This typically happens when:
  
  A query or service call is designed to accept a single value but is given multiple values.
  There is a mismatch in the input parameters between the WebI report and the underlying service or universe.
  The service definition or operation is not configured to handle multiple values for that parameter.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Input Parameters:
  
  Review the service definition and operation to confirm which parameters are expected to be single-valued.
  Verify the WebI report or the calling application to ensure it is passing only one value for that parameter.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query or Service Call:
  
  If multiple values are being passed unintentionally, adjust the query or filter to pass a single value.
  If multiple values are required, modify the service definition and operation to accept multiple values (e.g., change the parameter type to accept a list or array).
  
  
  
  Update the Service Definition:
  
  In the CMC (Central Management Console), check the service definition configuration.
  Adjust the operation parameters to accept multiple values if business logic allows.
  
  
  
  Check Universe or Data Foundation:
  
  If the service is based on a universe, ensure that the universe objects and filters are correctly defined to handle single or multiple values as needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Traces:
  
  Review WebI server logs or SDK traces to identify where multiple values are being passed.
  This can help pinpoint the source of the incorrect input.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common when integrating WebI reports with custom SDK applications or web services where parameter passing is involved.
  The error message is part of the Web Intelligence SDK or service validation checks.
  SAP Notes and Knowledge Base Articles related to WebI SDK and service definitions may provide additional guidance.
  Always ensure that the WebI report filters and prompts align with the service definition expectations.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Multiple values passed for a parameter expecting a single value in a WebI service definition operation.
  Solution: Ensure only one value is passed or modify the service definition to accept multiple values.
  Check: Service definition, operation parameters, WebI report filters, and SDK calls.
  
  
  If you need help with a specific scenario or configuration, please provide more details about the service definition, operation, and how the values are being passed.
