    Objects of type 'role' have been found that reference BW objects that
    are no longer in the system.
    A BW object (query, template or view) has probably been assigned to the
    role but then deleted again without being deleted from the role.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Use transaction PFCG in the "menu" tab page to check which BW elements
    were assigned to the role.
    You can display the details from the context menu. In the Object
    Description field, you can find the technical name of the referencing
    object, the query name for example.
    You can use the object name to check whether the object exists.
    Transaction RSRT for query elements or report RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN for
    templates might be of use for this.
