  Cause:
  The error RSAR618 can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Dependencies: The source system you are trying to delete may have existing dependencies, such as data targets, InfoProviders, or other objects that rely on it.

  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR618 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
