Here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Object Name: The DSO name specified in the process might be misspelled or incorrectly referenced.
  Object Deletion: The DSO may have been deleted or not activated in the system.

  Technical Issues: There may be underlying technical issues in the BW system that prevent the DSO from being recognized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify DSO Name: Check the name of the DSO in the process and ensure it matches the actual DSO name in the system.

  Check for Technical Issues: Look for any system logs or error messages that might indicate a technical issue. You can use transaction SLG1 to check application logs for more details.
