• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR346 - None of the selected InfoObjects can be deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSAR346, which states "None of the selected InfoObjects can be deleted," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you attempt to delete InfoObjects (like characteristics or key figures) that are either in use or have dependencies that prevent their deletion.
  Causes:
  
  Active Dependencies: The InfoObjects you are trying to delete may be used in existing InfoProviders, queries, or other objects. If they are part of a data model, they cannot be deleted directly.
  Data Flow: The InfoObjects might be part of a data flow, such as being included in a DataSource, InfoCube, or DataStore Object (DSO).
  Transport Requests: If the InfoObjects are included in a transport request that has not been released, this can also prevent deletion.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to delete InfoObjects can also lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete an InfoObject, check for any dependencies. You can use the transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to analyze where the InfoObject is being used.
  
  Look for InfoProviders, queries, or any other objects that reference the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If you find that the InfoObject is being used, you will need to remove it from those objects first. This may involve:
  
  Modifying or deleting queries that use the InfoObject.
  Adjusting InfoProviders to exclude the InfoObject.
  Ensuring that the InfoObject is not part of any active data flows.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that the InfoObject is not part of any transport request that is still in progress. If it is, you may need to release or delete the transport request.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to delete InfoObjects. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  Use the Right Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for deletion. The typical transaction for managing InfoObjects is RSA1.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 for the Data Warehousing Workbench, RSD1 for InfoObject maintenance, and RSD5 for InfoProvider maintenance.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on InfoObject management and dependencies.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the RSAR346 error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
