  The SAP error message ILM_AUDIT055 indicates that a specific view (denoted as &1) is still in use and therefore cannot be deleted. This error typically arises in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when attempting to delete a view that is still referenced by other objects or processes.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The view you are trying to delete is still being referenced by other database objects, such as tables, reports, or other views.
  Open Sessions: There may be active sessions or transactions that are currently using the view.
  Configuration Dependencies: The view might be part of a configuration that is still active or in use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for dependencies on the view. Look for any tables, programs, or other views that reference the view you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Identify Active Sessions:
  
  Use transaction code SM66 (Global Work Process Overview) or SM50 (Work Process Overview) to check if there are any active sessions that are using the view. If so, you may need to terminate those sessions or wait until they are completed.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find any objects that reference the view, you will need to remove those references before you can delete the view. This may involve modifying or deleting dependent objects.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the view is not part of any active configuration or process. If it is, you may need to deactivate or change the configuration.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have ensured that there are no active references or dependencies, try deleting the view again.
