• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO017 - No InfoObject name specified for element '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO017, which states "No InfoObject name specified for element '&1'," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO). This error indicates that there is a missing or undefined InfoObject name for a specific element in your data model or query.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoObject Definition: The error often arises when an InfoObject that is expected to be associated with a characteristic or key figure is not defined or is incorrectly referenced in the ADSO.
  Incorrect Query Design: If you are designing a query and have not properly specified the InfoObjects in the query definition, this error can occur.
  DataSource Issues: If the DataSource feeding into the ADSO does not have the correct mappings or is missing InfoObjects, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the ADSO or its associated InfoObjects were transported from one system to another without proper configuration, it may lead to missing references.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Definitions: Ensure that all InfoObjects referenced in your ADSO are correctly defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and verifying their existence.
  Review ADSO Configuration: Go to the ADSO configuration and check if all required InfoObjects are correctly assigned. Make sure that the characteristics and key figures are properly defined.
  Validate Query Design: If the error occurs during query execution, review the query design in the Query Designer. Ensure that all InfoObjects used in the query are correctly specified and exist in the system.
  Check DataSource Mappings: If you are using a DataSource, verify that it is correctly mapped to the InfoObjects in the ADSO. Ensure that the DataSource is active and correctly configured.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check if all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the missing InfoObjects or adjust the configuration in the target system.
  Rebuild the ADSO: In some cases, it may be necessary to rebuild the ADSO or recreate the query to resolve any underlying issues.
