• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL098 - Snapshot Scenario is set. "All Characteristics are key" cannot be set. ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL098 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA. Specifically, the error arises when you attempt to set a scenario where "All Characteristics are key" while a snapshot scenario is already defined.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Snapshot Scenario: A snapshot scenario is a specific type of data model in which the data is stored in a way that allows for historical analysis. In this scenario, certain characteristics are treated differently than in standard scenarios.
  All Characteristics as Key: When you set "All Characteristics are key," it implies that all characteristics in the ADSO are treated as key fields, which is not compatible with the snapshot scenario. In a snapshot scenario, not all characteristics can be defined as key fields because it would conflict with the way snapshots are intended to work.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the ADSO Configuration:
  
  Go to the ADSO definition in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Check the settings for the snapshot scenario and the key fields.
  
  
  
  Adjust Key Field Settings:
  
  If you need to keep the snapshot scenario, you should not set "All Characteristics are key." Instead, select only those characteristics that should be treated as key fields.
  If you need all characteristics to be key fields, consider changing the scenario from a snapshot to a standard data model.
  
  
  
  Recreate the ADSO:
  
  If the configuration is complex and you are unable to resolve the issue, consider recreating the ADSO with the correct settings from the beginning.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP Help documentation for Advanced DataStore Objects and snapshot scenarios for more detailed guidance on how to configure these settings correctly.
