• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_UI045 - &1 orphaned ABAP artifact(s) were deleted ?

  The SAP error message ACM_UI045 indicates that there are orphaned ABAP artifacts that have been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) or during the transport of objects in the ABAP environment. Orphaned artifacts are those that are no longer linked to any active development objects or are not properly referenced in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Issues: The error can occur if there are inconsistencies in the transport requests, such as missing dependencies or objects that were deleted in the source system but not properly handled in the target system.
  Development Changes: If an ABAP object (like a program, function module, or class) is deleted or modified without proper handling of its dependencies, it can lead to orphaned artifacts.
  System Cleanup: Regular system cleanup processes or maintenance activities might inadvertently remove objects that are still referenced elsewhere.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Requests: Review the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects and their dependencies are included. If any objects are missing, you may need to re-transport them.
  Recreate or Restore Objects: If the orphaned artifacts are still needed, you may need to recreate or restore them from a backup or a previous version.
  Use Transaction SE80: Use the Object Navigator (SE80) to check for any orphaned objects and manually clean them up if necessary.
  Run Consistency Checks: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE37 (Function Builder) to check for inconsistencies in the database or function modules.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on handling orphaned artifacts.
  
  Related Information:
