• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1060 - Deletion-selections are useful only for basic InfoCubes ?

  The SAP error message RSM1060, which states "Deletion-selections are useful only for basic InfoCubes," typically occurs when you are trying to perform a deletion operation on a non-basic InfoCube (like a MultiProvider or a CompositeProvider) using the Data Warehousing Workbench or similar tools in SAP BW (Business Warehouse).
  Cause:
  The error arises because deletion selections (which are used to delete data from InfoCubes) are only applicable to basic InfoCubes. Non-basic InfoCubes, such as MultiProviders or CompositeProviders, do not support direct deletion of data in the same way that basic InfoCubes do. This is because MultiProviders and CompositeProviders are essentially views that aggregate data from multiple sources rather than storing data themselves.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Identify the Correct InfoProvider: Ensure that you are working with a basic InfoCube if you intend to perform deletion selections. If you are trying to delete data from a MultiProvider or CompositeProvider, you will need to delete data from the underlying InfoCubes instead.
  
  
  Delete Data from Underlying InfoCubes: If you need to delete data that is represented in a MultiProvider or CompositeProvider, identify the underlying basic InfoCubes and perform the deletion operation on those.
  
  
  Use the Right Transaction: If you are using a transaction or tool that is not appropriate for the type of InfoProvider you are working with, switch to the correct transaction that supports the operations you need.
  
  
  Check for Data Flow: If you are trying to delete data that is being aggregated from multiple sources, ensure that you understand the data flow and dependencies. Deleting data from one InfoCube may affect others.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on how to manage data in your specific BW environment.
