• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMOLC_GEN115 - Deletion of tables only via complete object (R3TR) ?

  The SAP error message EMOLC_GEN115 indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of database tables in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that tables can only be deleted via a complete object (R3TR). This error typically arises when attempting to delete a table or related objects without following the proper procedures or without the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Object Deletion: The error occurs when you try to delete a table or related objects (like views, indexes, etc.) without using the complete object type (R3TR). In SAP, certain objects must be managed as complete entities to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion of the object.
  Transport Request Issues: If the deletion is being attempted through a transport request, it may not be properly configured or may not include all necessary components.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Complete Object Deletion:
  
  Ensure that you are deleting the table as part of a complete object. This means you should include all related components in the deletion process.
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to manage the deletion of database tables. Make sure to select the complete object for deletion.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete database objects. This may require checking roles and permissions in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If you are working with a transport request, ensure that the request is correctly configured and includes all necessary objects. You may need to create a new transport request that includes the complete object.
  
  
  
  Use SE14 for Database Table Deletion:
  
  If you are trying to delete a database table, consider using transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to manage the deletion process. This transaction provides options for managing database objects more effectively.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the table you are trying to delete. If other objects depend on this table, you may need to delete or modify those objects first.
