• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B170 - InfoCube &1 is part of a semantically. part. InfoCube. Cannot delete ?

  The SAP error message R7B170 indicates that you are trying to delete an InfoCube that is part of a semantic partitioning structure. This means that the InfoCube is linked to a semantic partitioning setup, which is a way to manage data in a more organized manner by dividing it into logical segments.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the InfoCube you are attempting to delete is associated with a semantic partitioning structure.
