BRAIN_DEV131 - Intersection of fixed validity and fixed time filters empty for CSID &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN_DEV - BRAIN messages (for use by development)

• Message number: 131

• Message text: Intersection of fixed validity and fixed time filters empty for CSID &1

What causes this issue?

No non-cumulative data will be read for the specified constant selection
context. The dynamic time filter lies outside the times resulting from
filters on validity characteristics.
This message is merely intended as a troubleshooting aid.
Example:
The fixed filter contains year 2013 and validity characteristic C = c1,
c3
Validity slices:
c1: year 2012
c2: year 2013
c3: year 2014
The resulting fixed filter is empty because the intersection of year
2013 with years 2012,2014 is empty.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_DEV131 - Intersection of fixed validity and fixed time filters empty for CSID &1 ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV131 indicates that there is an issue with the intersection of fixed validity and fixed time filters in a query, specifically for a characteristic value (CSID) that is being referenced. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to execute a query that has conflicting filters.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Filters: The error arises when the fixed validity filter (which defines a specific time period) and the fixed time filter (which may also define a specific time period) do not overlap. This means that the data set that meets both criteria is empty.
  Data Availability: There may not be any data available for the specified characteristic value (CSID) during the defined time period.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may have been designed in such a way that the filters applied are not logically compatible.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Filters: Review the filters applied in the query. Ensure that the fixed validity and fixed time filters are compatible and that there is an overlap in the time periods they define.
  Adjust Time Periods: Modify the time periods in the filters to ensure they intersect. This may involve changing the start and end dates or adjusting the granularity of the time filter.
  Data Verification: Verify that there is data available for the characteristic value (CSID) in the specified time frame. You can do this by checking the underlying data in the InfoProvider or data source.
  Query Redesign: If necessary, consider redesigning the query to avoid conflicting filters. This may involve removing one of the filters or changing how they are applied.
  Test with Different Values: If applicable, test the query with different characteristic values to see if the issue persists across other values.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Query Designer: Use the Query Designer tool to visually inspect and modify the filters applied to the query.
  Data Modeling: Ensure that the data model is correctly set up and that the InfoObjects and InfoProviders are properly configured to handle the filters being applied.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for best practices in query design and filter management in SAP BW/BI.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute your query.
