• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO704 - Domain & marked for deletion ?

  The SAP error message DO704 indicates that a domain is marked for deletion. This typically occurs in the context of data dictionary objects in SAP, particularly when a domain is no longer needed or is being replaced by a new one.
  Cause:
  
  Domain Marked for Deletion: The domain in question has been flagged for deletion in the SAP system. This can happen if the domain is obsolete or if it has been replaced by a new domain.
  Dependencies: There may be existing database objects (like tables, views, or data elements) that still reference this domain, leading to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the domain was transported from another system and marked for deletion in the source system, it may carry that status into the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Domain Status: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the status of the domain. If it is marked for deletion, you will need to assess whether it can be unmarked or if it should be replaced.
  Unmark for Deletion: If the domain is still needed, you can unmark it for deletion. This can be done by editing the domain in SE11 and removing the deletion flag.
  Remove Dependencies: If the domain is no longer needed, ensure that all dependencies (like data elements, tables, etc.) are updated to use a different domain before proceeding with the deletion.
  Transport Management: If the issue arises from a transport, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the domain is not marked for deletion in the source system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for best practices regarding domain management.
