EPM add-in error: 500 Internal server error

While using EPM add-in in MS Excel there is, a quite common error called 500 Internal server error that may distract a users. It is appearing right away when the user just choose connection. Thus, the user even is not connected to BPC server.




As per error log (which looks like this - see below) there is no obvious reason for that error.

It is worth to check if there is a dump related to this error – in backend in t-code ST22. Normally there is the ABAP dump which may indicate what is root cause of the error. In this case, there is related to error in the hierarchy. In the details of the dump there is even BPC dimension tech name and hierarchy ID listed. The details like this lead to the error. In my case, I just needed to delete broken hierarchy.
