• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7292 - InfoObject &1 still being used in DataSore object &2 (contains data) ?

  The SAP error message R7292 indicates that an InfoObject (denoted as &1) is still being used in a DataStore Object (DSO) (denoted as &2) that contains data. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete or modify an InfoObject that is still actively being utilized in a DSO that has existing data.
  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The InfoObject is currently being referenced in the DSO, which means it is part of the data model and has data associated with it.
  Data Integrity: SAP prevents the deletion or modification of InfoObjects that are still in use to maintain data integrity and avoid inconsistencies in reporting or data processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Data Usage:
  
  Verify if the InfoObject is indeed being used in the DSO. You can do this by checking the DSO structure in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) or using the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you need to delete or modify the InfoObject, you must first remove it from the DSO. This can be done by:
  
  Modifying the DSO structure to exclude the InfoObject.
  If necessary, create a new version of the DSO without the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete Data:
  
  If the DSO contains data that is no longer needed, you may choose to delete the data from the DSO. This can be done using the Data Management options in the DSO.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If the InfoObject is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and that the changes are reflected in the target system.
  
  
  
  Recheck:
  
  After making the necessary changes, recheck to ensure that the InfoObject is no longer referenced in the DSO. You can then proceed to delete or modify the InfoObject as needed.
