3574337 - Error: "Uncategorized server error" occurs when expanding a page filter in SAC story based on a live BW model.

Symptom

 The below error occurs when expanding a filter in SAC story:

"An error occurred while fetching the list of members.
{"code":"UNCATEGORIZED_SERVER_ERROR", "message":"No authorization","details":null}"

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to SAC.
  2. Open a story based on a live BW model using a restricted user.
  3. Expand a page filter.
  4. Observe the error.

 

Cause

  • The issue occurs when authorization variables are used as dynamic filters (DFs) in BW queries.
  • In these cases, dynamic filters are not applied during LOV (List of Values) queries when expanding filters in a story. As a result, users with restricted BW data access encounter authorization errors.

Resolution

  • To resolve the issue, authorization variables should be moved to Fixed Filters instead of being used as dynamic filters.
  • This ensures that authorization restrictions are consistently applied during LOV queries.
