• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DS319 - Selected sub-trees deleted ?

  The SAP error message DS319 "Selected sub-trees deleted" typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data modeling, particularly when working with DataSources, InfoObjects, or InfoProviders in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments. This message indicates that certain sub-trees (which can refer to hierarchies or structures within the data model) have been deleted or are no longer available for selection.
  Cause:
  
  Data Model Changes: The error may arise if there have been changes to the data model, such as the deletion of InfoObjects, DataSources, or InfoProviders that were previously used in a query or data extraction process.
  Hierarchy Changes: If you are working with hierarchies and a parent node has been deleted, all associated child nodes (sub-trees) will also be removed, leading to this error.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain data elements, which can lead to the perception that they have been deleted.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the transport did not include all necessary objects, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Model: Review the data model to ensure that all necessary InfoObjects, DataSources, and InfoProviders are still present and correctly configured.
  Recreate Deleted Objects: If any objects have been deleted, consider recreating them or restoring them from a backup if possible.
  Update Queries: If you are using queries that reference deleted objects, update those queries to remove references to the deleted elements.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to access the required data elements.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they are correctly activated in the target system.
