SAP Error Message:
WXCM036 Context characteristic &1 for attribute &2 has changed
Meaning / Cause:
This error occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA during the modeling or activation of an InfoObject or during the activation of a CompositeProvider or Open ODS View. The message indicates that the context characteristic assigned to a particular attribute has been changed compared to the previous version or definition.
Review the change:
Check why the context characteristic was changed. This is a significant change and should be done only if absolutely necessary.
Revert the change if possible:
If the change was accidental or incorrect, revert the context characteristic to the original one.
Adjust dependent objects:
If the change is intentional, you need to adjust all dependent objects (InfoProviders, CompositeProviders, queries, transformations, etc.) that rely on this attribute or its context characteristic.
Rebuild or re-activate objects:
After making the necessary adjustments, try to activate the InfoObject or InfoProvider again.
Data consistency check:
Since changing the context characteristic can affect data consistency, perform data consistency checks and possibly reload or reprocess data.
Transport considerations:
If this error occurs during transport, ensure that the transport sequence is correct and that all dependent objects are transported in the right order.
