  The SAP error message RSM1499 indicates that a delta update is currently active for a data target, and you cannot delete a request until the delta update is deactivated. This is a common issue encountered in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with data targets such as InfoProviders, DataStore Objects (DSOs), or InfoCubes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  A delta update process is currently running or has been activated for the specified data target (e.g., DSO, InfoCube).
  The system requires that all delta updates be deactivated before you can delete any requests associated with that data target.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to deactivate the delta update for the specified data target. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Delta Status:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1).
  Navigate to the relevant data target (e.g., DSO, InfoCube).
  Check if there are any active delta processes.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Delta Update:
  
  If you find that a delta update is active, you will need to deactivate it. This can typically be done by:
  
  Going to the "Manage" or "Settings" section of the data target.
  Finding the option to deactivate the delta update.
  
  
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code RSC1 to manage the delta process.
  
  
  
  Delete the Request:
  
  Once the delta update is deactivated, you can proceed to delete the request that was causing the error.
  Go back to the data target and delete the request as needed.
  
  
  
  Re-activate Delta Update (if necessary):
