The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV121: Call stack of invalid OLAP state typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is an issue with the OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) state during query execution. This error can arise due to various reasons, including inconsistencies in the data model, issues with the query definition, or problems with the underlying data.
Causes:
- Inconsistent Data Model: Changes in the data model (like InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or transformations) that have not been properly reflected in the queries can lead to this error.
- Query Definition Issues: If the query is not correctly defined or if it references objects that are not available or have been changed, it can cause this error.
- Data Loading Issues: If there are issues with the data loading process (e.g., incomplete data loads, errors during data extraction), it can lead to an invalid OLAP state.
- Caching Issues: Sometimes, the OLAP cache may become inconsistent, leading to this error when trying to execute a query.
- Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations for accessing certain data can also lead to this error.
Solutions:
- Check Query Definition: Review the query definition in the Query Designer to ensure that all InfoObjects and InfoProviders are correctly defined and available.
- Validate Data Model: Ensure that the data model is consistent. Check for any changes in InfoProviders, InfoObjects, or transformations that may not have been updated in the query.
- Rebuild OLAP Cache: Clear the OLAP cache to remove any inconsistencies. This can be done through transaction RSRT or by using the relevant options in the BW system.
- Check Data Load Status: Verify that all data loads have been completed successfully and that there are no errors in the data loading process.
- Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the data being queried.
- Check for Notes and Patches: Look for any SAP Notes or patches that may address this specific error, as it could be a known issue with a fix available.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
