Answer: A,B,D

Explanation:

• A. High Cardinality is set in InfoObject B: This is an object property that prevents you from changing InfoObject B into a navigational attribute for InfoObject

A. A characteristic with high cardinality cannot be used as a navigation attribute for another characteristic, and therefore it cannot have navigation attributes itself12.

• B. Attribute Only is set in InfoObject B: This is an object property that prevents you from changing InfoObject B into a navigational attribute for InfoObject

A. A characteristic that is marked as an exclusive attribute can only be used as a display attribute for another characteristic, but not as a navigational attribute. In addition, the characteristic cannot be transferred into InfoCubes34.

• D. Conversion Routine “ALPHA” is set in InfoObject A: This is an object property that prevents you from changing InfoObject B into a navigational attribute for InfoObject

A. A characteristic that has a conversion routine cannot have navigational attributes, because the conversion routine would have to be applied to the navigational attributes as well, which is not possible5 .
