SAP Note 1479836 - MDX: Generate - Too many hierarchy levels are read

Component : MDX,OLAP-BAPI,OLE DB for OLAP - OLE DB Provider

Summary :
Using the MDX "Generate" function in SAP NetWeaver BW can lead to high runtime and memory consumption due to a program error that causes the system to read all hierarchy levels despite the restriction to a few levels. The correct data is filtered post-execution, maintaining the accuracy but at the expense of performance. Implementing the recommended correction will limit the hierarchy reading to necessary nodes when only one tuple exists in the first set, effectively reducing resource requirements. However, for cases where multiple tuples or crossjoins are involved, optimization is not feasible. Support packages addressing this issue are detailed for different versions of SAP NetWeaver BW.
