  Non-Existent ADSO: The specified ADSO may not exist in the system, or there may be a typo in the name.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the ADSO or the data flow that is trying to use it.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the ADSO Name:
