  Solutions to RSUQ124
  
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check if the query is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user to release it.

  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the query is being used in any reports, workbooks, or other objects. If it is, you will need to remove those dependencies before attempting to delete the query.
  
  
  Use Transaction RSRT: You can use transaction RSRT (Query Monitor) to check the status of the query and see if there are any issues that need to be resolved.
  
  
  Technical Check: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking for any technical inconsistencies in the BW system. This may involve consulting with your Basis team or performing a system check.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the query is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly released and that there are no issues with the transport layer.
