  The SAP error message AD879 typically occurs when there is an issue related to the deletion of objects in the SAP system, particularly in the context of transport requests or when managing development objects. The message indicates that there are objects that cannot be deleted due to various reasons, such as dependencies, locks, or incorrect configurations.
  Cause:
  
  Dependencies: The object you are trying to delete may have dependencies on other objects that are still in use or not deleted.
  Transport Request Issues: If the object is part of a transport request that has not been released or is still in use, it cannot be deleted.
  Locks: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the deletion of certain objects.
  
  Solution:

  Release Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is released. You can do this using transaction code SE09 or SE10.

  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction for deleting the object. For example, use SE14 for database objects or SE80 for development objects.
