• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APPLG756 - DCW: Global class could not be deleted; choose another name for class ?

  The SAP error message APPLG756 indicates that there is an issue with deleting a global class in the ABAP Workbench. This error typically occurs when you attempt to delete a class that is either still in use or has dependencies that prevent its deletion. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Dependencies: The class you are trying to delete may be referenced in other programs, classes, or function modules. If there are active references, SAP will not allow the deletion.
  Transport Requests: If the class is part of a transport request that has not been released, it may also prevent deletion.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the class.
  System Lock: The class might be locked by another user or process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the class is being used in other objects.
  You can also use the Where-Used List (Shift + F2) to find references to the class.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find that the class is being used, you will need to remove or modify those references before attempting to delete the class again.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Requests:
  
  If the class is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is released. You can check this in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete classes. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Unlock the Class:
  
  If the class is locked, you can check the lock entries using transaction SM12. If you have the necessary permissions, you can unlock it.
  
  
  
  Rename the Class:
  
  If deletion is not possible, consider renaming the class instead. This can be done in the class properties.
