  The SAP error message RSDS252, which states "Delete dependent D versions with class &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there are issues related to the deletion of D (Data) versions of InfoObjects or InfoProviders that have dependencies.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by the presence of dependent D versions that are linked to the InfoObject or InfoProvider you are trying to delete. In SAP BW, D versions are used to store data, and if there are existing D versions that depend on the object you are attempting to delete, the system will not allow the deletion until those dependencies are resolved.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to delete the dependent D versions before you can delete the main object. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify Dependent D Versions:
  
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance) to find the InfoObject or InfoProvider in question.
  Check for any D versions associated with the object. You can also use the RSDS transaction to view the D versions.
  
  
  
  Delete Dependent D Versions:
  
  Once you have identified the dependent D versions, you can delete them. This can typically be done through the same transaction where you found them, or you may need to use specific deletion transactions or programs.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletions.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion of the Main Object:
  
  After successfully deleting the dependent D versions, you can attempt to delete the main InfoObject or InfoProvider again.
