• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT201 - Not all the views on table & could be deleted ?

  The SAP error message GT201 indicates that not all views on a table can be deleted. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete a database table or its views, but there are dependencies or constraints that prevent the operation.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Views: The table has one or more views that are dependent on it. If views are still in use or defined on the table, you cannot delete the table.
  Foreign Key Constraints: There may be foreign key relationships that reference the table, which need to be addressed before deletion.
  Database Locks: The table or its views might be locked by another transaction or user, preventing deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the views or the table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Existing Views: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for any views that are defined on the table. You can also use the SQL command SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE name = 'YourTableName' in the database to find views.
  Delete Views: If you find views that are dependent on the table, you will need to delete those views first. This can be done in SE11 or SE14 (Database Utility).
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Use transaction SE11 to check for any foreign key constraints that reference the table. You may need to delete or modify these constraints before you can delete the table.
  Release Locks: Ensure that no other transactions are locking the table. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the views and the table. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you lack permissions.
