Summary :
In SAP NetWeaver BW environments, executing a query involving a characteristic with an inactive hierarchy (e.g., not in drill down, without THJ activation, and not used as a dynamic filter) leads to a system error labeled as "Dereferencing of the NULL reference" caused by CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL exception. This underlying issue stems from a programming error in class SAPMSSY1. To address this, users should import specific Support Packages depending on their SAP NetWeaver BW version. For versions 7.00 to 7.20, the corresponding Support Packages (ranging from SP25 in version 7.00 to SP04 in version 7.20) should be integrated once their availability is confirmed via related SAP notes. Users facing urgent issues can apply correction instructions provided these notes have been reviewed.
