  The SAP error message RSODSO_TOOLS078: No DataStore object selected typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a DataStore Object (DSO) to be selected, but none has been specified. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to execute a process chain, load data, or perform data modeling tasks.
  Cause:
  
  No DSO Selected: The most straightforward cause is that you have not selected a DataStore Object in the relevant transaction or process.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the process chain or data flow may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing any DSO.
  User Authorization: Lack of proper authorization to access the DSO can also lead to this error, as the system may not display the available DSOs.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as system inconsistencies or bugs in the SAP BW system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a DSO: Ensure that you have selected a DataStore Object in the relevant transaction or process. If you are in a process chain, make sure to specify the correct DSO in the settings.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the process chain or data flow to ensure that it is correctly set up to reference the appropriate DSO.
  User Authorization: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access the DSO. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure you have the right permissions.
  System Check: If the issue persists, check for any system inconsistencies or errors in the logs. You may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team for further investigation.
  Recreate the DSO: In some cases, if the DSO is corrupted or not functioning as expected, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup.
