• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO189 - aDSO '&1' is reference object of semantic group '&2' ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO189 indicates that the Advanced DataStore Object (aDSO) you are trying to modify or delete is being used as a reference object in a semantic group. This means that the aDSO is linked to a semantic group, which is a collection of related objects that are used together in reporting or data processing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation (like deletion or modification) on an aDSO that is still referenced by a semantic group. This reference prevents the operation because it could lead to inconsistencies in the data model or reporting.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Semantic Group: Determine which semantic group is referencing the aDSO. The error message provides the name of the aDSO and the semantic group.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies and relationships between the aDSO and the semantic group. You can do this by navigating to the semantic group in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  
  
  Remove the Reference: If you need to delete or modify the aDSO, you must first remove it from the semantic group. This can typically be done in the modeling tools by editing the semantic group and removing the reference to the aDSO.
  
  
  Revalidate the Model: After removing the reference, ensure that the semantic group and any related objects are still valid. You may need to revalidate or activate the semantic group.
  
  
  Perform the Operation Again: Once the reference is removed, you should be able to perform the desired operation on the aDSO without encountering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
