This error typically occurs in the context of data management in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA environments.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The aDSO you are trying to delete data from is part of a composite aDSO or is linked to another aDSO.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate the relationships between the aDSOs. Ensure that the aDSO you are trying to delete data from does not have dependencies on other aDSOs or composite aDSOs.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data you are trying to delete is not required for any reporting or data processing. If it is, you may need to adjust your data model or the data flow.
  
  
  Use the Correct Deletion Method: If you are trying to delete data for a specific purpose (e.g., data correction), consider using the appropriate method for data deletion, such as using a data deletion request or a specific transaction designed for this purpose.
  
  
  Check for Active Requests: Ensure that there are no active requests or processes that are currently using the data you are trying to delete. You may need to wait until these processes are completed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for aDSOs and composite aDSOs to understand the constraints and best practices for managing data in these objects.
