• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LCM_CONTEXT055 - Cannot delete Context &1 as it has next version in draft mode ?

  The SAP error message LCM_CONTEXT055 indicates that you are trying to delete a context (or version) in the SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) tool, but the operation cannot be completed because there is a next version of that context that is currently in draft mode. This is a safeguard to prevent accidental deletion of contexts that are still being worked on or are not finalized.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Draft Version Exists: There is a next version of the context that is in draft mode, which means it has not been published or finalized.
  Dependency: The system prevents deletion to maintain data integrity and avoid breaking dependencies between versions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Draft Versions:
  
  Navigate to the context management area in SAP LaMa.
  Look for any versions of the context that are in draft mode.
  
  
  
  Finalize or Delete Draft Version:
  
  If the draft version is no longer needed, you can delete it. Make sure to confirm that you do not need any data from that draft version.
  If you want to keep the draft version, you can finalize it by publishing it. This will allow you to delete the previous version.
  
  
  
  Delete Context:
  
  Once the draft version is either deleted or finalized, you should be able to delete the original context without encountering the error.
