• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7668 - InfoCube &1 is still in use in MultiProvider &2 ?

  The SAP error message R7668 indicates that an InfoCube is still in use within a MultiProvider. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete or modify an InfoCube that is currently being referenced by a MultiProvider. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The InfoCube you are trying to modify or delete is actively being used in a MultiProvider. MultiProviders are designed to combine data from multiple InfoProviders, including InfoCubes, and if one of them is still in use, the system will prevent changes to maintain data integrity.
  Data Dependencies: The InfoCube may have dependencies in terms of data models, queries, or reports that rely on it being part of the MultiProvider.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check MultiProvider Usage:
  
  Go to the MultiProvider in question and check which InfoCubes are included. You can do this in the SAP BW modeling tools or transaction RSA1.
  Identify the specific MultiProvider that is using the InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Remove the InfoCube from the MultiProvider:
  
  If you need to delete or modify the InfoCube, you must first remove it from the MultiProvider. This can be done by editing the MultiProvider definition and excluding the InfoCube.
  After making the changes, activate the MultiProvider.
  
  
  
  Check for Queries:
  
  Ensure that there are no queries or reports that are dependent on the InfoCube. If there are, you may need to adjust or delete those queries before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the MultiProvider:
  
  After removing the InfoCube, re-activate the MultiProvider to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Consider Data Flow:
  
  If the InfoCube is part of a data flow (e.g., data extraction, transformation), ensure that these processes are also updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage InfoProviders and MultiProviders.
