Summary :
The EXPLAIN function in SQL, which assesses access paths for DB2 in SAP environments, malfunctions when set for any similarity degree. To resolve, follow instructions in SAP Note 101217 to import essential transports into your R/3 Release, regularly checking for updates. Additionally, use specific patches for Releases 4.6D and 4.6C detailed in Notes 406744 and 413885, respectively. This will enable the proper functioning of the EXPLAIN function across various DB2 similarity levels in SAP BW and APO systems, but resets the level to '1' unless set globally to 'ANY'.
