• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APS_CKE054 - ABAP view &1 referring to view &2 has not been deleted. ?

  The SAP error message APS_CKE054 indicates that an ABAP view (the one referred to as &1) is still referencing another view (the one referred to as &2) that has not been deleted. This typically occurs during the process of deleting or modifying database views in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the ABAP view you are trying to delete has dependencies on another view that has not been deleted or modified accordingly.
  Incorrect Deletion Order: If you attempt to delete a view that is still being referenced by other views or objects, SAP will prevent the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Transport Issues: Sometimes, if changes are transported between systems (like from development to production), dependencies may not be correctly handled, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: 
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the dependencies of the ABAP view you are trying to delete. Look for any references to other views or database objects.
  You can also use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) to analyze the object dependencies.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Dependent Views: 
  
  If the view you are trying to delete is being referenced by another view, you will need to either delete or modify the dependent view first.
  Ensure that all dependent objects are either deleted or updated to remove the references to the view you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Recheck the Deletion: 
  
  After addressing the dependencies, attempt to delete the view again.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If this issue arises during a transport, ensure that all dependent objects are included in the transport request and that they are in sync across the systems.
