• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_DEV114 - Value '&2' for variable &1 invalid. No hierarchy found. ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV114 indicates that there is an issue with a variable in a query or report where the specified value is invalid because no hierarchy is found for that variable. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries that involve hierarchies.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchy: The variable specified in the error message is expected to have a hierarchy associated with it, but the hierarchy is either not defined or not activated in the system.
  Incorrect Variable Value: The value being passed to the variable does not exist in the hierarchy, which can happen if the data has changed or if the wrong value is being referenced.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model, such as changes to InfoObjects or hierarchies, can lead to this error if the query is not updated accordingly.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy, leading to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definition: 
  
  Go to the relevant InfoObject in the SAP BW system and check if the hierarchy is defined and activated. If it is not, you will need to create or activate it.
  
  
  
  Validate Variable Values:
  
  Ensure that the value being passed to the variable exists in the hierarchy. You can do this by checking the hierarchy in the SAP BW modeling tools or transaction codes like RSA1.
  
  
  
  Update Queries:
  
  If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that the queries using the variable are updated to reflect these changes. You may need to revalidate or refresh the query.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the hierarchy. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Values:
  
  If possible, test the query with different values for the variable to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is with a specific value.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check InfoObjects and hierarchies.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for more details on working with hierarchies and variables in BW queries.
