  The SAP error message CM_SUB029, which states "Property trees are still in use," typically occurs in the context of managing property trees in SAP's Classification Management or similar modules. This error indicates that there are still references or dependencies on the property trees you are trying to delete or modify, preventing the action from being completed.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The property tree you are attempting to delete or modify is still being referenced by other objects, such as classes, characteristics, or other property trees.
  Open Sessions: There may be open sessions or transactions that are currently using the property tree.
  Incomplete Deletion: If a previous attempt to delete or modify the property tree was interrupted or incomplete, it may still be in a state that prevents further changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: 
  
  Use transaction codes like CL02 (Change Class) or CT04 (Change Characteristic) to check if the property tree is being used by any classes or characteristics.
  You can also use transaction CT04 to see if any characteristics are linked to the property tree.
  
  
  
  Remove References:

  Check for Open Sessions: 
  
  Ensure that there are no open sessions or transactions that are using the property tree. Close any relevant sessions.
