  The SAP error message MDMXFW038 indicates that a request for data related to a specific extraction object has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction processes, such as those used in SAP Data Services or SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Request: The most common cause of this error is that the data extraction request for the specified object has been deleted from the system. This can happen due to manual deletion, data management processes, or system cleanup activities.

  Solution:
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the extraction request in the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for BW). If the request has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or re-trigger the extraction process.
  Recreate the Request: If the request is indeed deleted, you may need to create a new extraction request for the relevant object. This can often be done through the data extraction process in the relevant SAP module.
  Review Data Model: Ensure that the data model and extraction object are correctly defined and that there are no inconsistencies. Check for any changes that may have been made to the extraction object.
  Consult Logs: Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the request was deleted.
  System Cleanup: If the deletion was part of a system cleanup process, consider adjusting the cleanup settings to prevent important requests from being deleted in the future.
