• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR279 - Communication structure for InfoSource & not deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSAR279 indicates that there is an issue with the communication structure for an InfoSource that has not been deleted properly. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to delete or modify an InfoSource, but the associated communication structure still exists.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Existing Data: The communication structure is still being used by existing data or queries.
  Incomplete Deletion: The InfoSource was not completely deleted, leaving behind the communication structure.
  Dependencies: Other objects (like InfoObjects, DataSources, or InfoProviders) may still be dependent on the InfoSource.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR279 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Navigate to the InfoSource in question and check for any dependencies or objects that are still linked to it.
  
  
  
  Delete Communication Structure:
  
  If you confirm that the communication structure is no longer needed, you can delete it manually.
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and enter the name of the communication structure.
  If it is not in use, you can delete it.
  
  
  
  Delete InfoSource:
  
  If the InfoSource is still present and you want to delete it, ensure that you have removed all dependencies first.
  Use transaction RSA1 to delete the InfoSource properly.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Queries:
  
  Ensure that there are no active queries or reports that are using the InfoSource. If there are, you may need to deactivate or delete them first.
