How to fix this error?

After confirming this message popup, another popup appears displaying a
list of objects that have to be dealt with before starting the
remodeling run. There are two options for dealing with these objects:
If you do not want to delete the objects prior to starting the
remodeling run, you can change the prefix used to create temporary
objects during remodeling. To do this, choose <ZH>Menu -> Remodeling
Rule -> Configure</> or select <ZH>Configure </>from the toolbar. On the
configuration screen under <ZH>Miscellaneous</>, select another
<ZH>Prefix for Temporary Objects</>.
The second option is to remove the objects from the database prior to
remodeling. This can be done automatically by the remodeling framework.
If you want to remove all objects, simply confirm the popup displayed
after the list of objects to be removed.

Procedure for System Administrators

The remodeling framework creates temporary objects during remodeling
<(>,<)> using the specified prefix. Currently, objects exist which use
the same name as the temporary objects would use. This causes
termination of the remodeling run, as the temporary objects are required
and cannot be created automatically to avoid data loss.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NRSCNV397 - Objects exist which might cause termination of the remodeling run ?

  The SAP error message NRSCNV397 indicates that there are existing objects in the system that could potentially cause the termination of a remodeling run. This error typically arises during the process of remodeling data in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA, where the system is trying to reorganize or transform data structures.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Existing Data Objects: There may be existing data objects (like InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or other related structures) that conflict with the remodeling process.
  Locks on Objects: Some objects might be locked by other processes or users, preventing the remodeling from proceeding.
  Inconsistent Data: There could be inconsistencies in the data model that need to be resolved before remodeling can occur.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on other objects that are not compatible with the remodeling operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the NRSCNV397 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Objects: Review the existing data objects in the system that might conflict with the remodeling process. This can include checking for InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and other related structures.
  
  
  Release Locks: If there are locks on the objects, identify the processes or users that are holding the locks and release them if possible. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for and manage locks.
  
  
  Validate Data Model: Ensure that the data model is consistent and that there are no issues that could prevent the remodeling process. This may involve checking for missing or incorrectly configured objects.
  
  
  Remove Conflicting Objects: If there are objects that are not needed or are causing conflicts, consider removing or deactivating them before attempting the remodeling again.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the objects involved in the remodeling process. Ensure that all necessary objects are in place and correctly configured.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific remodeling process you are attempting. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
