  The SAP error message CGPL_BW_INTERFACE015 indicates that you cannot delete a specific object in SAP Business Intelligence (BI). This error typically arises when there are dependencies or references to the object you are trying to delete, or if the object is locked or in use.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The object you are trying to delete may have dependencies, such as being referenced in other objects (e.g., queries, reports, or data sources).
