• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO123 - InfoObject &1 needs to be in key for DataStore object &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO123 indicates that a specific InfoObject (denoted as &1) is required to be part of the key for a DataStore Object (DSO) (denoted as &2) but is not currently included. This error typically arises during the activation or data loading process of a DSO in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the InfoObject specified is not included in the key fields of the DataStore Object. In SAP BW, a DSO requires certain InfoObjects to be part of its key to ensure that data can be uniquely identified and managed correctly. If an InfoObject that is necessary for the data model is missing from the key, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to include the specified InfoObject in the key fields of the DataStore Object. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the DataStore Object:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the DataStore Object that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Edit the DSO:
  
  Select the DSO and choose the option to edit it.
  Go to the "Key" tab or section of the DSO definition.
  
  
  
  Add the InfoObject:
  
  Check the list of available InfoObjects and find the one that corresponds to &1 in the error message.
  Add this InfoObject to the key fields of the DSO.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After adding the InfoObject to the key, save your changes.
  Activate the DataStore Object to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Data Load:
  
  After activation, attempt to re-run the data load process that previously resulted in the error.
