  The SAP error message RSM1286 indicates that a DataStore Object (DSO) specified in the error message does not exist in the A version (active version) of the DataStore. This typically occurs during data loading or when trying to access or manipulate data in the DSO.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent DSO: The DataStore Object you are trying to access does not exist in the active version.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DSO might not be properly configured or activated.
  Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues with the data transfer process that led to the DSO not being populated or activated.
  Transport Issues: If the DSO was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.

  Review Data Load Process: If you are trying to load data into the DSO, review the data load process to ensure that it is correctly configured and that there are no errors in the data transfer.
  Transport Check: If the DSO was recently transported, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
