  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO238 indicates that there has been a change in the SID (Surrogate ID) determination mode for an ADSO (Advanced DataStore Object). This message typically arises in the context of data modeling and data loading processes in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA environments.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the SID determination mode for a characteristic in an ADSO is changed. The SID determination mode can be set to different options, such as:
  
  Automatic: SIDs are generated automatically during data loading.
  Manual: SIDs are assigned manually.
  Not Assigned: No SIDs are assigned.

  Reprocess Data:
  
  If data has already been loaded with the previous SID determination mode, you may need to reprocess the data to ensure that SIDs are generated or assigned correctly according to the new settings.
