  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL022, which states "Activate Data has to be set with 'Reporting on Union...'", typically occurs in the context of SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA when working with Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO). This error indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the settings for reporting on the ADSO.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the ADSO is configured in a way that does not allow for the intended reporting functionality. Specifically, it suggests that the ADSO is set up to handle data in a manner that requires the "Reporting on Union" option to be enabled, but it is not currently set. This can happen if:
  
  The ADSO is intended to combine data from multiple sources or structures, which necessitates the union reporting setting.
  The ADSO is not properly configured to handle the data model that includes union operations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the settings of the ADSO in the SAP BW modeling environment. Here are the steps to do so:

  Ensure that the "Reporting on Union" option is checked or enabled. This setting allows the ADSO to handle data from multiple sources correctly.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate the ADSO:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration.
  Activate the ADSO again to apply the changes.
