• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMDD_DELETE013 - &4 &1 Table exists ?

  The SAP error message RSDMDD_DELETE013 typically indicates that there is an issue with deleting a DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoProvider because the underlying database table still exists. This can occur in the context of data modeling in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when you attempt to delete a DSO or InfoProvider, but the corresponding database table is still present in the system. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The deletion process was interrupted or not completed successfully.
  There are dependencies or references to the DSO or InfoProvider that prevent its deletion.
  The table may have been manually created or modified outside of the standard SAP processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: 
  
  Ensure that there are no active queries, transformations, or other objects that depend on the DSO or InfoProvider you are trying to delete. You can use transaction codes like RSRT (for queries) or RSA1 (for data modeling) to check for dependencies.
  
  
  
  Delete Data and Metadata:
  
  If the DSO or InfoProvider contains data, you may need to delete the data first. You can do this using the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) or by using the appropriate data deletion methods.
  
  
  
  Use the Data Warehousing Workbench:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1), navigate to the DSO or InfoProvider, and try to delete it from there. This method ensures that all related metadata is handled correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Database Tables:
  
  If the table still exists in the database, you may need to manually check the database (using transaction SE11 or SE16) to see if the table is still present. If it is, you may need to drop the table manually, but this should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of a Basis or BW consultant.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the DSO or InfoProvider is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and that there are no pending changes.
  
  
  
  System Restart:
  
  In some cases, a system restart may help clear any locks or inconsistencies that are preventing the deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE16 (Data Browser).
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to DataStore Objects and InfoProviders for best practices on deletion and management.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or open a support ticket with SAP for further assistance.
