• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO128 - - the corresponding unit InfoObject ('&1') is defined as attribute-only ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO128 indicates that there is an issue with a specific InfoObject that is defined as "attribute-only." This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO).
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to use an InfoObject that is defined as attribute-only in a context where a key figure or a non-attribute InfoObject is expected. Attribute-only InfoObjects are designed to hold descriptive attributes and do not have any associated key figures or values. This can lead to issues when trying to perform operations that require a value or a key figure.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the InfoObject Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject definition in the SAP BW system and verify its properties. Ensure that the InfoObject in question is not set as attribute-only if it needs to be used as a key figure or in calculations.
  
  
  
  Modify the InfoObject:
  
  If the InfoObject is incorrectly defined as attribute-only and should have key figures, you may need to change its definition. This can involve creating a new InfoObject that includes the necessary key figures or modifying the existing one.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Data Model:
  
  Review the data model where the error occurs. Ensure that the InfoObject is being used correctly in the context of the ADSO or any other data model components. If it is being used in a calculation or aggregation, ensure that the correct InfoObjects are being referenced.
  
  
  
  Check Queries and Reports:
  
  If the error occurs in a query or report, check the query definition to ensure that the InfoObject is being used appropriately. Replace it with a suitable InfoObject that has the required characteristics.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on InfoObject definitions and their appropriate usage.
