Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDMDD_DELETE061 - Number of used SIDs (these records cannot be deleted) : &1. ?

  The SAP error message RSDMDD_DELETE061 indicates that there are still active or used SIDs (System Identifiers) associated with the data you are trying to delete in the Data Warehouse (BW). This means that the records you are attempting to delete cannot be removed because they are still in use by other objects or data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the SID you are trying to delete is still being referenced by other data objects, such as InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or other data models. This can happen if:
  
  The SID is linked to existing data in a fact table or dimension.
  There are active queries or reports that rely on the data associated with the SID.
  The SID is part of a hierarchy or is used in aggregations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies: Use transaction codes like RSO2 (for InfoObjects) or RSA1 (for Data Warehousing Workbench) to check where the SID is being used. Look for any InfoProviders, queries, or other objects that reference the SID.
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If you find that the SID is being used in any active queries or reports, you may need to:
  
  Update or delete those queries/reports.
  Remove the SID from any hierarchies or aggregations.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If the SID is part of a dimension or fact table, you may need to perform a data cleanup:
  
  Ensure that all records referencing the SID are deleted or updated.
  Use the appropriate data management tools in BW to clean up the data.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion: Once you have ensured that there are no dependencies on the SID, you can attempt to delete the records again.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, locks on the data can prevent deletion. Ensure that no other processes are locking the data you are trying to delete.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1, RSD1, RSO2, and RSD5 for managing InfoObjects and InfoProviders.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices on managing SIDs and data deletion processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDMDD_DELETE061 error and successfully delete the records you intended to remove.
