/BOBF/COM_GENERATOR408
- Development class &1 could not be deleted ?The SAP error message
/BOBF/COM_GENERATOR408
indicates that a specific development class (or package) could not be deleted. This error typically arises in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when there are dependencies or references to the development class that prevent its deletion.Causes:
- Dependencies: The development class may have objects (like tables, views, function modules, or other development objects) that are still in use or referenced elsewhere in the system.
- Transport Requests: If the development class is part of a transport request that has not been released or is still in use, it cannot be deleted.
- Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the development class may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
- System Locks: There may be locks on the development class or related objects that prevent deletion.
Solutions:
- Check Dependencies: Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to check for any objects that depend on the development class. You can also use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to analyze the dependencies.
- Remove References: If there are dependent objects, you will need to either delete them or change their references to another development class before you can delete the target class.
- Release Transport Requests: Ensure that any transport requests associated with the development class are released. You can check this in transaction SE09 or SE10.
- Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the development class. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
- Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the development class or related objects. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who has locked the object.
- Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction (like SE80 or SE11) to delete the development class.
