• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APS_CKE022 - Custom CDS View couldn't be deleted. ?

  The SAP error message APS_CKE022 indicates that a custom Core Data Services (CDS) view could not be deleted. This error can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies: The CDS view may have dependencies, such as being used in other objects (e.g., other CDS views, reports, or applications). If the view is referenced elsewhere, it cannot be deleted until those references are removed.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the CDS view is part of a transport request that is still in process or has not been released, it may prevent deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the CDS view may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  
  
  System Lock: The system might have a lock on the object due to ongoing processes or transactions.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues or inconsistencies in the database or metadata.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check if the CDS view is being used in other objects. Remove or modify those dependencies before attempting to delete the view.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that any transport requests associated with the CDS view are released. You can check this in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  
  
  
  Verify Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the CDS view. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the object. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who has locked the object.
  
  
  
  Technical Check:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking for any technical inconsistencies. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team or perform a system check.
  
  
  
  Use the Right Tools:
  
  If you are using the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse, ensure you are using the correct context and have refreshed your project to see the latest changes.
