• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP710 - Error occurred when activating hierarchy table &1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP710 Error occurred when activating hierarchy table &1
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs during the activation of a hierarchy table in SAP, often related to the Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP NetWeaver systems where hierarchies are used (e.g., InfoObjects with hierarchies). The error indicates that the activation process of the hierarchy table failed.
  Common causes include:
  
  Database inconsistencies or locks: The hierarchy table might be locked or inconsistent, preventing activation.
  Missing or incorrect database objects: The underlying database table or related objects might be missing or corrupted.
  Authorization issues: The user performing the activation might lack necessary authorizations.
  Transport or system inconsistencies: If the hierarchy was transported from another system, inconsistencies might exist.
  Incorrect or incomplete hierarchy definition: The hierarchy structure might have errors or incomplete data.
  System or patch level issues: Bugs or missing patches in the SAP system can cause activation failures.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WXP710 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the detailed error log:
  
  Look into the short dump (ST22) or system log (SM21) for more detailed error messages related to the activation failure.
  Check transaction RSRT or RSA1 for hierarchy activation logs.
  
  
  
  Verify hierarchy consistency:
  
  Use transaction RSH1 (Hierarchy Maintenance) to check and correct the hierarchy.
  Ensure the hierarchy is complete and consistent.
  
  
  
  Check database locks and table status:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks on the hierarchy table.
  Use transaction SE14 to check and activate the database table manually if needed.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations for hierarchy activation (e.g., authorization object S_RS_COMP).
  
  
  
  Re-activate the hierarchy:
  
  Try to deactivate and then reactivate the hierarchy in transaction RSH1 or via the BW modeling tools.
  
  
  
  Transport and system consistency:
  
  If the hierarchy was imported via transport, verify the transport logs and consistency.
  Re-import or correct the transport if necessary.
  
  
  
  Apply SAP Notes and patches:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes using the message number WXP710 and the system component (e.g., BW or NetWeaver).
  Apply any recommended patches or corrections.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Support:
  
  If the problem persists, open a support ticket with SAP, providing detailed logs and system information.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP ONE Support Launchpad for notes related to WXP710 and hierarchy activation issues.
  Example notes might address bugs or provide instructions for manual table activation.
  
  
  
  Hierarchy Tables:
  
  Hierarchy tables are generated and maintained by SAP BW for InfoObjects with hierarchies.
  Activation involves creating or updating database tables that store hierarchy nodes and relationships.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WXP710 indicates a failure during hierarchy table activation, often due to database, authorization, or consistency issues. Check logs, verify hierarchy integrity, ensure proper authorizations, and consider SAP Notes or support if needed.
