• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MVA/AMX_ARCH_MSG101 - &2 data records of table &1 could not be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /MVA/AMX_ARCH_MSG101 indicates that there was an issue with deleting data records from a specified table in the SAP system. The message typically includes placeholders for the number of records that could not be deleted and the name of the table involved.
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The records you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently using the data.
  Foreign Key Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints that prevent the deletion of records. If other tables reference the records you are trying to delete, the system will not allow the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues such as database inconsistencies or problems with the underlying database system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the records you are trying to delete. If you find locks, you may need to wait for the other transaction to complete or contact the user who holds the lock.
  Review Foreign Key Constraints: Check if there are any foreign key constraints that prevent the deletion. You can use transaction code SE11 to view the table structure and its relationships with other tables.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table. You can check this using transaction code SU53 after the error occurs.
  Database Consistency: If you suspect a technical issue, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your database administrator to ensure that the database is functioning correctly.
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to perform the deletion or to manage the data (e.g., SE14 for database utility).
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SM12 (Lock Entries), SU53 (Authorization Check), and SE14 (Database Utility).
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific module or application area related to the table in question, as there may be specific guidelines for data management.
