• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEENGBAPI003 - Long text for node &1 could not be deleted ?

  The SAP error message PPEENGBAPI003 indicates that there was an issue when trying to delete a node in the Engineering Change Management (ECM) or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module. The specific message states that the long text for the specified node (denoted by &1) could not be deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Node Dependency: The node you are trying to delete may have dependencies or relationships with other objects in the system. If other objects reference this node, the system will prevent its deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the long text associated with the node.
  System Locking: The node might be locked by another user or process, preventing any modifications, including deletions.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity constraints in place that prevent the deletion of the long text.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the node and its relationships with other objects. Ensure that there are no dependencies that would prevent deletion. You may need to delete or modify dependent objects first.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete long texts. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Unlock the Node: If the node is locked, identify the user or process that has locked it and resolve the locking issue. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  Data Integrity Review: Ensure that there are no data integrity constraints that would prevent the deletion. This may involve checking configuration settings or consulting with a system administrator.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are working within a specific transaction, ensure you are using the correct transaction codes and following the proper procedures for deletion.
