  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data or metadata that prevent the deletion of the shadow table.
  Locks on the Table: The shadow table might be locked by another process, preventing the deletion.
  Incomplete or Failed Data Load: If a data load process fails or is incomplete, it may leave behind shadow tables that cannot be deleted.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the shadow table. If you find any locks, you may need to release them.

  Delete Shadow Table Manually: If the shadow table is not being deleted automatically, you can try to delete it manually using SQL commands or through the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  Repair InfoProvider: If there are inconsistencies in the InfoProvider, you can use transaction code RSA1 to repair the InfoProvider. Navigate to the InfoProvider and check for any inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If the issue occurred after a transport, ensure that all objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing dependencies.
