• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_UI205 - InfoCube is used by MultiProvider &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_UI205 indicates that an InfoCube is being used by a MultiProvider, which can prevent certain operations from being performed on the InfoCube. This is a common scenario in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environments where InfoCubes and MultiProviders are used to manage and analyze data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation (such as deletion, modification, or transport) on an InfoCube that is currently being utilized by a MultiProvider. MultiProviders are designed to combine data from multiple InfoProviders (like InfoCubes and DataStore Objects) into a single view for reporting purposes. Because of this dependency, certain actions on the InfoCube are restricted to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies: Check which MultiProviders are using the InfoCube. You can do this by navigating to the MultiProvider in the SAP BW modeling tools and checking its properties or dependencies.
  
  
  Modify MultiProvider: If you need to make changes to the InfoCube, consider modifying the MultiProvider to remove the dependency on the InfoCube temporarily. This may involve:
  
  Removing the InfoCube from the MultiProvider definition.
  Creating a copy of the MultiProvider without the InfoCube for testing or development purposes.
  
  
  
  Perform Required Operations: Once the dependency is removed, you can perform the necessary operations on the InfoCube (e.g., deletion, modification).
  
  
  Re-add InfoCube: After completing the required operations, you can re-add the InfoCube back to the MultiProvider if needed.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other objects (like queries or reports) that depend on the InfoCube before making changes.
