• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO218 - DataStore object &1 belongs to higher-level InfoProvider; display only ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO218 indicates that you are trying to perform an operation on a DataStore Object (DSO) that is part of a higher-level InfoProvider, and as a result, the DSO is in a "display only" mode. This typically occurs in scenarios where the DSO is being used in a composite provider or when it is part of a hierarchy of InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  Higher-Level InfoProvider: The DSO is part of a higher-level InfoProvider (like a CompositeProvider or a MultiProvider), which restricts certain operations to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Display Mode: The DSO is set to display mode because it is being used in a context where it should not be modified directly (e.g., in a reporting scenario).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the InfoProvider Hierarchy: Verify if the DSO is part of a higher-level InfoProvider. If it is, you will need to perform operations on the higher-level InfoProvider instead of the DSO directly.
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you need to modify or load data, ensure you are using the appropriate transaction or process that allows for data manipulation at the higher level.
  Data Loading: If you need to load data into the DSO, ensure that you are using the correct data flow or process that respects the hierarchy of InfoProviders.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on working with composite providers and DSOs in your version of SAP BW.
