  The SAP error message RSM1337 indicates that there is an attempt to delete data from an InfoCube that is not currently active. This can occur in the context of data management in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you try to perform a deletion operation on an InfoCube that is either not activated or has been deactivated.
  Cause:
  
  InfoCube Not Active: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoCube you are trying to delete data from is not active. An InfoCube must be active to perform data deletion operations.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or InfoCube structure, it may not be active until those changes are fully processed and activated.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoCube was transported from another system and not activated in the target system, it will not be available for data operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the InfoCube:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the InfoCube in question.
  Right-click on the InfoCube and select the option to activate it. This will make the InfoCube active and allow you to perform deletion operations.
  
  
  
  Check Activation Status:
  
  Ensure that the InfoCube is properly activated. You can check the activation status in the InfoCube properties.
  If there are any errors during activation, resolve those issues first.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model Changes:
  
  If there have been changes to the InfoCube structure, ensure that all related objects (like DataSources, transformations, etc.) are also activated and consistent.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the InfoCube was transported, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects are activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the activation process or the implications of activating an InfoCube, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP BW administrator.
