• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM674 - InfoCube &(&) still contains update rules. No deletion possible ?

  The SAP error message RSM674 indicates that an InfoCube still contains update rules, which prevents it from being deleted. This situation typically arises when you attempt to delete an InfoCube that is still linked to existing update rules in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the InfoCube you are trying to delete has associated update rules that need to be removed first. Update rules are used to transfer data from the source (like DataSources) to the InfoCube, and if they exist, the system will not allow the deletion of the InfoCube to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Update Rules: 
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).

  Check the associated update rules by looking under the "Data Flow" section.
  
  
  
  Delete Update Rules:

  Right-click on the InfoCube and select the delete option.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or objects (like transformations or data sources) that might be linked to the InfoCube. If there are, you may need to delete or adjust those as well.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes (deletions) are captured in transport requests if you plan to move them to a production environment.
