• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBK035 - Delete D version of &1 as shadow DTP &2 was deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSBK035 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Transfer Process (DTP) in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse). Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to delete a D version of a DTP, but a shadow DTP (which is a copy of the original DTP used for certain operations) has already been deleted.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Inconsistent DTP State: The DTP you are trying to delete has a shadow DTP that has already been deleted, leading to inconsistency in the system.
  Manual Deletion: The shadow DTP might have been manually deleted or removed through some other process, which is not reflected in the main DTP.
  System Error: There could be a system error or inconsistency in the metadata of the DTPs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSBK035 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check DTP Status: Verify the status of the DTP and its shadow DTP. You can do this by navigating to the DTP in the SAP BW system and checking its properties.
  
  
  Recreate Shadow DTP: If the shadow DTP is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can often be done by reactivating the original DTP or by creating a new DTP based on the same settings.
  
  
  Delete DTP via Transaction: Use transaction RSO2 to delete the DTP. Ensure that you are deleting the correct version and that there are no dependencies on the shadow DTP.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other processes or objects that depend on the DTP you are trying to delete. If there are, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  
  
  System Consistency Check: Run a consistency check in the BW system to identify any other inconsistencies that may be causing the issue. This can be done using transaction RS_BW_CHECK.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
