• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCNV015 - InfoObject to be deleted is key field in ODSO ?

  The SAP error message RSCNV015 indicates that there is an attempt to delete an InfoObject that is a key field in an ODS object (Operational Data Store). This situation arises when you try to remove a characteristic (InfoObject) that is essential for the structure of the ODS object, which is not allowed because it would compromise the integrity of the data model.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the InfoObject you are trying to delete is defined as a key field in one or more ODS objects. Key fields are critical for identifying records uniquely within the ODS, and removing them would lead to data integrity issues.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies: Check which ODS objects are using the InfoObject you want to delete. You can do this by navigating to the ODS object in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and reviewing its structure.
  
  
  Modify ODS Structure: If you still want to delete the InfoObject, you will need to first remove it from the ODS object. This can be done by:
  
  Opening the ODS object in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Going to the "Key Fields" section and removing the InfoObject from the key fields.
  Save and activate the changes.
  
  
  
  Delete the InfoObject: Once the InfoObject is no longer a key field in any ODS object, you can proceed to delete it from the InfoObject catalog.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that the InfoObject is not being used in other data models, such as InfoCubes, DataSources, or other ODS objects. If it is, you will need to address those dependencies as well.
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment, remember to transport your changes to the appropriate environments (e.g., QA, Production) after testing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Data Model Integrity: Always ensure that any changes to InfoObjects do not compromise the integrity of your data model. Key fields are crucial for data consistency and retrieval.
  Documentation: Keep documentation of any changes made to InfoObjects and ODS structures for future reference and auditing purposes.
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that data loading and reporting functionalities are not affected.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSCNV015 error and manage your InfoObjects effectively within your SAP BW environment.
