How To Fix RSOS_SEARCH259 - Top level package could not be deleted because of remaining objects

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSOS_SEARCH -

• Message number: 259

• Message text: Top level package could not be deleted because of remaining objects

What causes this issue?

When deactivating BW Search completely, the framework also removes all
generated SAP HANA views and packages. The top level package is also
removed as defined in transaction RSOSM. It might not be possible to
remove the top level package because objects exist in subpackages which
have not been deleted. This can happen because objects exist in these
subpackages which have not been generated by BW Search, and the search
framework therefore does not know about these objects.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

This error is not critical. If you want to remove all generated objects
completely, you have to clean up the top level package &V1& manually.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOS_SEARCH259 - Top level package could not be deleted because of remaining objects ?

  The SAP error message RSOS_SEARCH259 indicates that a top-level package cannot be deleted because there are still objects associated with it. This is a common issue when trying to clean up or reorganize packages in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to delete a package that still contains objects such as:
  
  Programs
  Function modules
  Classes
  Tables
  Views
  Other development objects
  
  SAP does not allow the deletion of a package if it has dependent objects to ensure data integrity and system stability.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to identify and delete or reassign the objects that are still associated with the package. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify Remaining Objects:
  
  Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for objects in the package.
  You can also use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to find objects in the package.
  
  
  
  Delete or Reassign Objects:
  
  If the objects are no longer needed, you can delete them.
  If the objects are still required, consider moving them to another package. You can do this by changing the package assignment of the objects in their respective development environments.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that there are no transport requests associated with the objects in the package. If there are, you may need to release or delete those transport requests.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  Once all objects have been removed or reassigned, you can attempt to delete the top-level package again.
