  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSANA_UMM_API627 - Deletion not supported. &1 is being used by a DCL. ?

    The SAP error message RSANA_UMM_API627: Deletion not supported. &1 is being used by a DCL. typically occurs when you attempt to delete a user management object (like a user or role) that is currently being referenced by a Data Control Language (DCL) object. DCLs are used in SAP to manage access control and permissions.

    Cause:

    The error indicates that the object you are trying to delete is still in use or linked to a DCL. This means that there are dependencies that prevent the deletion of the object. The DCL may be enforcing certain permissions or roles that are tied to the object you are trying to remove.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Identify Dependencies:

      • Check which DCL is using the object you are trying to delete. You can do this by reviewing the DCL configurations in the SAP system.
      • Use transaction codes like SUIM (User Information System) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to find the roles or users associated with the DCL.
    2. Remove Dependencies:

      • If the object is linked to a DCL, you will need to either remove the association or modify the DCL to no longer reference the object.
      • This may involve changing the permissions or roles assigned to users or modifying the DCL itself.
    3. Delete the Object:

      • Once you have removed the dependencies, you should be able to delete the object without encountering the error.
    4. Check for Other References:

      • Ensure that there are no other references to the object in other DCLs or configurations that might prevent deletion.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • If you are unsure about the implications of removing a DCL or its dependencies, consult SAP documentation or your organization's SAP security team for guidance.

    Related Information:

    • DCL (Data Control Language): A mechanism in SAP that allows for fine-grained access control by defining permissions at a more detailed level than traditional roles.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SUIM (User Information System) to manage users and roles effectively.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message, as there may be patches or updates that address specific scenarios.
