• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF389 - Delete BO &1 via modify core service not possible; Use action ROOT-DELETE ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF389 indicates that there is an attempt to delete a Business Object (BO) using the modify core service, which is not allowed. Instead, the system suggests using the action ROOT-DELETE to perform the deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Method Used: The error occurs because the delete operation is being attempted through a method that is not designed for deletion. The modify core service is typically used for updating or modifying existing records, not for deleting them.

  Data Integrity Rules: There may be data integrity rules in place that prevent deletion through the modify service to ensure that related data is not inadvertently lost.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:

  If you are using an API or a service call, ensure that you are calling the correct method for deletion.
  If you are using a UI, look for a delete button or action that corresponds to the ROOT-DELETE operation.
  
  
  
  Check Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific Business Object you are working with to understand the correct methods and actions available for that object.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to catch such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users or logs.
