  The SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_AP001 indicates that a specific view (denoted as &1) is currently in use as a related view in another view (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Objects or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are dependencies between different views or data models.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Issue: The view you are trying to modify or delete is being referenced by another view. This creates a dependency that prevents changes to the first view.
  Active Sessions: There may be active sessions or transactions that are currently using the view, which can also lead to this error.
  Data Model Integrity: SAP enforces data model integrity, and if a view is part of a larger data model, it cannot be altered or deleted without addressing the dependencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependencies: Check the dependencies of the view in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to analyze the relationships between views.
  Remove References: If possible, remove the references to the view in the dependent view (&2). This may involve modifying the dependent view to no longer include the first view.
  Deactivate or Close Sessions: Ensure that there are no active sessions or transactions using the view. You may need to log off users or terminate sessions that are using the view.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for specific guidelines on handling view dependencies.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like RSRT (for reporting) or RS2D (for data modeling) to analyze and manage views and their dependencies.
