  The SAP error message /PM0/AB_AT108 Data source &1 is still used in SDS &2 => No deletion indicates that you are trying to delete a data source that is still being referenced in a System Data Source (SDS). This means that the data source you are attempting to delete is still in use, and therefore, the system prevents the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The data source you are trying to delete is actively referenced in one or more SDS configurations.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces rules to ensure that you do not accidentally delete data sources that are still in use, which could lead to inconsistencies or data loss.

  Identify References:
  
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSD1 (Data Source Maintenance) to check where the data source is being used.

  Remove References:
  
  If you find that the data source is being used in an SDS, you will need to either:
  
  Modify the SDS to remove the reference to the data source.
  Delete or deactivate the SDS if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete the Data Source:
  
  Once all references to the data source have been removed, you can attempt to delete the data source again.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
