• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B119 - InfoObject &1 is used in Advanced DataStore object &2 (contains data) ?

  The SAP error message R7B119 indicates that an InfoObject (denoted as &1) is being used in an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) (denoted as &2) that contains data. This error typically arises when you attempt to delete or modify an InfoObject that is currently in use within an ADSO that has already been populated with data.
  Cause:
  
  Data Dependency: The InfoObject is part of the structure of the ADSO, and since the ADSO contains data, any changes to the InfoObject (like deletion or modification) could potentially affect the integrity of the data stored in the ADSO.
  Data Model Integrity: SAP enforces data model integrity, which means that you cannot make changes to objects that are actively being used in data models that contain data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Usage: Verify where the InfoObject is being used. You can do this by checking the ADSO definition and any associated data flows or transformations.
  
  
  Data Deletion: If you need to modify or delete the InfoObject, you must first delete the data from the ADSO that is using it. This can be done by:
  
  Deleting the data from the ADSO using the appropriate data management transaction (e.g., using the Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Ensure that you have a backup or that the data is no longer needed before deletion.
  
  
  
  Modify InfoObject: Once the data has been deleted, you can proceed to modify or delete the InfoObject as needed.
  
  
  Repopulate Data: After making the necessary changes to the InfoObject, you can then repopulate the ADSO with new data.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: If the InfoObject is used in other data models or objects, ensure that those dependencies are also considered before making changes.
