• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA013 - Deletion only possible if Object Manager does not visualize an object ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA013 indicates that a deletion operation is being attempted on an object that is currently being visualized or managed by the Object Manager. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Floorplan Manager (FPM) or Web Dynpro applications, where certain objects (like UI components, configurations, or data models) cannot be deleted while they are in use or being referenced.
  Cause:
  
  Object in Use: The object you are trying to delete is currently being referenced or visualized by the Object Manager or another component.
  Active Sessions: There may be active sessions or instances of the application that are using the object.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP employs a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistency, which can lead to this error if the object is locked by another process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Ensure that there are no active sessions or instances of the application that are using the object. You may need to log out of the application or close any open sessions.
  Release Locks: If the object is locked, you may need to release the lock. This can often be done by using transaction codes like SM12 (to view and delete locks) or SM21 (to check system logs).
  Object Manager: Ensure that the Object Manager is not visualizing the object. You may need to refresh or restart the Object Manager.
  Wait for Processes to Complete: If there are background processes or jobs that are using the object, wait for them to complete before attempting the deletion again.
  Check Dependencies: Review any dependencies or references to the object that may prevent its deletion. You may need to remove or update these dependencies first.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE37 (Function Builder) to investigate the object further.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP's support portal can provide additional insights.
