• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO199 - DataStore object &1: "with export DataSource" property cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO199 indicates that you are trying to delete a DataStore Object (DSO) that has the "Export DataSource" property set. This means that the DSO is currently being used as a source for data extraction, and SAP does not allow the deletion of such objects to maintain data integrity and avoid disruption in data flows.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the DataStore Object you are attempting to delete is configured to export data to other systems or processes. This configuration is typically used in scenarios where the DSO is part of a data flow that feeds data into other applications or reporting tools.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Export DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataStore Object in the SAP BW system.
  Check the properties of the DSO to confirm that it is indeed set as an "Export DataSource".
  
  
  
  Remove Export DataSource:
  
  If you determine that the DSO is no longer needed as an export source, you can remove the "Export DataSource" configuration.
  To do this, navigate to the DSO settings and disable or delete the export DataSource.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other objects or processes that depend on this DSO. This includes InfoProviders, queries, or any data flows that might be using the DSO.
  
  
  
  Delete the DSO:
  
  Once the export DataSource has been removed and all dependencies are cleared, you should be able to delete the DSO without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are captured in transport requests if you plan to move them to production.
