  The SAP error message R7397 typically indicates that there are objects in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system that depend on a specific InfoObject, and these objects are being checked for consistency or validity. This message often arises during processes such as data modeling, transport, or activation of InfoObjects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Dependent Objects: There are dependent objects (like InfoProviders, Queries, or DataSources) that rely on the InfoObject in question.
  Changes Made: Changes have been made to the InfoObject (like deletion, modification, or activation) that affect its dependent objects.
  Inconsistent State: The system is in an inconsistent state due to these dependencies, which prevents further actions.
  
  Solution:
