  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42274 - &2 physical objects of &1 physical objects can be deleted ?

    The SAP error message "42274: &2 physical objects of &1 physical objects can be deleted" typically occurs in the context of database management or object deletion within the SAP system. This message indicates that there are physical objects (like database tables, views, etc.) that can be deleted, but there are certain conditions or dependencies preventing the deletion of all of them.

    Cause:

    1. Dependencies: Some of the physical objects may have dependencies or references in other parts of the system, such as foreign key constraints, views, or other database objects that rely on them.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete certain objects.
    3. System Locks: The objects may be locked by other processes or users, preventing their deletion.
    4. Object Status: The objects may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., they may be marked for deletion but not yet deleted).

    Solution:

    1. Check Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) to check for dependencies on the objects you are trying to delete. Resolve any dependencies before attempting to delete the objects again.
    2. Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the objects. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
    3. Release Locks: If the objects are locked, identify the processes or users holding the locks and release them if appropriate. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
    4. Check Object Status: Verify the status of the objects. If they are marked for deletion, ensure that the deletion process is completed.
    5. Use Transaction SE14: If you are dealing with database objects, you can use transaction SE14 to manage the database objects and check for inconsistencies.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SM12 (Lock Management).
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
