• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER064 - Object &1 not deleted. Object is still used with start provider &2. ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER064 indicates that a specific object (like a DataSource, InfoObject, or similar) cannot be deleted because it is still being used by a start provider. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW systems when trying to manage or delete objects that are interlinked.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete an object that is still referenced by another object (the "start provider"). This means that the object you are trying to delete is still in use, and SAP prevents its deletion to maintain data integrity and avoid breaking dependencies.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check which start provider is using the object you are trying to delete. You can do this by examining the object’s properties or using transaction codes like RSOBJV (for object dependencies) or RSA1 (for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If the object is being used in a process chain, transformation, or any other dependent object, you will need to remove or modify those dependencies first. This may involve:
  
  Deleting or modifying the process chain that uses the object.
  Adjusting any transformations or data flows that reference the object.
  
  
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  Once you have removed all dependencies, try deleting the object again.
  
  
  
  Check for Other References:
  
  If the error persists, ensure that there are no other references to the object in other areas of the system, such as queries, reports, or other data models.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the dependencies or how to proceed, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message.
  System Logs: Review system logs for additional context or related error messages that might provide further insight into the issue.
