This error indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of fields from an InfoSource, which can happen for various reasons.
  Cause of RSAR629
  
  
  Field Dependencies: The fields you are trying to delete may be used in other objects, such as InfoObjects, DataSources, or queries. If these fields are still in use, SAP will not allow their deletion.
  
  
  Data Transfer Issues: If there are ongoing data transfer processes or if the InfoSource is currently being used in a data load, this can prevent the deletion of fields.
  
  
  Technical Settings: The technical settings of the InfoSource may not allow for certain fields to be deleted due to their configuration.
  
  
  Versioning: If there are multiple versions of the InfoSource or if it is being used in a transport request, this can also lead to issues when attempting to delete fields.
  
  
  Solution for RSAR629
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete fields, check if they are being used in any other objects. You can do this by reviewing the InfoSource's dependencies in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  Remove Usage: If the fields are being used in queries, DataSources, or other InfoProviders, you will need to remove their usage from those objects before you can delete them from the InfoSource.
  
  
  Data Transfer: Ensure that there are no active data transfer processes that are using the InfoSource. You may need to stop any ongoing data loads or processes.
  
  
  Technical Settings Review: Review the technical settings of the InfoSource to ensure that the fields you want to delete are not restricted from deletion.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the InfoSource is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and that you are working with the correct version of the InfoSource.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to navigate to the InfoSource and check its settings and dependencies.
