• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_RW_HANA024 - Cannot delete view &1; delete it manually from the package ?

  The SAP error message ILM_RW_HANA024 indicates that there is an issue with deleting a view in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when using SAP HANA. The message suggests that the system cannot delete the specified view automatically and that it must be deleted manually from the package.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Dependencies: The view you are trying to delete may have dependencies or references from other objects, which prevents it from being deleted automatically.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the view.
  System State: The system may be in a state where it cannot perform the deletion due to ongoing transactions or locks.
  Package Lock: The package containing the view may be locked or in a state that prevents modifications.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Manual Deletion:
  
  Navigate to the relevant package in the SAP HANA Studio or SAP GUI.
  Locate the view specified in the error message.
  Attempt to delete the view manually.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Before deleting, check if there are any dependent objects (like tables, other views, or procedures) that reference the view. You may need to delete or modify these dependencies first.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the view. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the package or the view. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before proceeding.
  
  
  
  System State:
  
  Ensure that there are no ongoing transactions that might be affecting the ability to delete the view. If necessary, wait for transactions to complete.
