• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR741 - InfoObject & of communication structure still being used ?

  The SAP error message RSAR741 indicates that an InfoObject is still being used in a communication structure, which prevents certain operations from being performed, such as deleting or modifying the InfoObject. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to make changes to InfoObjects that are still referenced in various data models or structures.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the RSAR741 error is that the InfoObject you are trying to modify or delete is still being referenced in one or more communication structures. Communication structures are used in data transfer processes (DTPs) and are essential for data extraction and loading processes in SAP BW.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR741 error, you need to identify where the InfoObject is being used and take appropriate actions. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify Usage:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Navigate to the InfoObject in question and check its usage in communication structures.
  You can also use transaction SE11 to check the database table or structure where the InfoObject is referenced.
  
  
  
  Check Communication Structures:
  
  Go to the relevant communication structures (e.g., in the DTPs or InfoPackages) and see if the InfoObject is included.
  You can find communication structures under the "Data Flow" section in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Modify or Remove References:
  
  If the InfoObject is being used in a DTP or InfoPackage, you may need to modify the DTP or InfoPackage to remove the reference to the InfoObject.
  If the InfoObject is part of a transformation, you may need to adjust the transformation rules.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Delete:
  
  Once you have removed all references to the InfoObject, you can deactivate or delete the communication structures that were using it.
  After ensuring that the InfoObject is no longer in use, you should be able to proceed with your intended operation (e.g., deleting or modifying the InfoObject).
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes are included in transport requests if they need to be moved to other environments (e.g., QA, Production).
