  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ERP_MKTTG_XPRA003 - DDIC object &1 still used; deletion not possible ?

    The SAP error message ERP_MKTTG_XPRA003 DDIC object &1 still used; deletion not possible typically occurs during the execution of a transport or during a system upgrade when the system attempts to delete a Data Dictionary (DDIC) object that is still in use. This can happen for various reasons, such as dependencies on the object in question or references in other objects.

    Cause:

    1. Object Dependencies: The DDIC object (like a table, view, or data element) is still being referenced by other objects in the system, such as programs, function modules, or other DDIC objects.
    2. Active References: There may be active references in the code or configuration that prevent the deletion of the object.
    3. Transport Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, it may not be possible to delete it until the transport is fully processed or released.

    Solution:

    1. Check Dependencies:

      • Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the object in question. Look for any dependent objects that reference it.
      • You can also use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) to find where the object is being used.
    2. Remove References:

      • If you find any references to the object, you will need to remove or modify them before attempting to delete the DDIC object.
      • This may involve changing programs, function modules, or other DDIC objects that depend on it.
    3. Transport Management:

      • Ensure that the transport request containing the object is released and that there are no pending changes.

    4. Check for Active Sessions:
