• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APS_CKE026 - Custom CDS View &1 is currently in use and can't be deleted. ?

  The SAP error message APS_CKE026 indicates that a custom Core Data Services (CDS) view is currently in use and cannot be deleted. This typically occurs when the CDS view is being referenced in other objects, such as reports, queries, or other CDS views, or if it is being used in a transaction or application.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The CDS view is actively referenced in other objects, which prevents its deletion.
  Usage in Applications: The view might be used in Fiori applications, reports, or other analytical tools.
  Transport Requests: The view may be part of a transport request that is currently in process or not yet released.
  Locking Mechanism: The system may have a locking mechanism in place that prevents deletion while the view is in use.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify References:
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check where the CDS view is being used. Look for references in:
  
  Other CDS views
  Reports
  Queries

  You can also use the Where-Used List feature to find dependencies.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find any dependent objects, you will need to either modify or delete those references before you can delete the CDS view.
  Ensure that any reports or applications that use the CDS view are no longer needed or have been updated to use an alternative.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that the CDS view is not part of an active transport request. If it is, you may need to release or delete the transport request.
  
  
  
  System Lock:
  
  If the view is locked due to a session or transaction, you may need to wait until the session is completed or manually unlock it if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
