  The SAP error message RSBOBJDS002 indicates that there is an issue with the DataStore Object (DSO) you are trying to create or modify in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, the error states that the target DataStore Object you are attempting to work with already exists, but it is not recognized as a BW DataStore Object.
