• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL130 - '&1' has only local SIDs; 'Characteristic as key figure' not possible ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL130 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 states that the ADSO has only local SIDs (Surrogate IDs) and that a characteristic is being treated as a key figure, which is not allowed in this context.
  Cause:
  
  
  Local SIDs Only: The ADSO is configured to use local SIDs, which means that it does not have global SIDs available for the characteristics. This can happen if the ADSO is set up to use local SIDs for performance reasons or due to specific design choices.
  
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The error suggests that a characteristic is being treated as a key figure. In SAP BW, key figures are typically numeric values, while characteristics are descriptive attributes. If a characteristic is incorrectly defined or used in a context where a key figure is expected, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ADSO Configuration: Review the configuration of the ADSO in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1). Ensure that the characteristics and key figures are defined correctly. If a characteristic is mistakenly set up as a key figure, correct its definition.
  
  
  Change SID Handling: If the use of local SIDs is not necessary, consider changing the ADSO configuration to use global SIDs. This can be done in the ADSO settings, but be cautious as it may have implications for performance and data management.
  
  
  Review Data Model: Ensure that the data model aligns with the intended use of characteristics and key figures. If a characteristic is meant to be a key figure, it should be defined as such in the ADSO.
  
  
  Rebuild the ADSO: If the configuration changes do not resolve the issue, consider rebuilding the ADSO. This can help reset any misconfigurations that may have occurred.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring ADSOs and handling SIDs. This can provide additional insights into best practices and common pitfalls.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

  Training and Resources: Consider SAP training resources or courses that cover data modeling and ADSO configuration in BW/4HANA for a deeper understanding of best practices.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS_ADSO_MODEL130 error and ensure that your ADSO is configured correctly for your data modeling needs.
