  The SAP error message RS_SMA_DAP137 indicates that the generated name for a certain object (like a data object, report, or other entity) does not conform to the naming conventions or patterns expected by the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when creating or modifying data objects in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or other SAP modules.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Characters: The generated name may contain invalid characters that are not allowed in SAP object names (e.g., special characters, spaces).
  Length Restrictions: The name may exceed the maximum length allowed for object names in SAP.
  Naming Conventions: The name may not follow the required naming conventions or patterns defined in your SAP system (e.g., prefixes, suffixes).

  Solution:
  
  Check Naming Conventions: Review the naming conventions for the specific type of object you are trying to create. Ensure that the name adheres to these conventions.
