• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSUQ125 - Structure is still being used - deletion not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSUQ125, which states "Structure is still being used - deletion not possible," typically occurs when you attempt to delete a structure (like an InfoObject or a DataSource) that is still in use by other objects in the SAP system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Active Dependencies: The structure you are trying to delete is still being referenced by other objects, such as InfoProviders, queries, transformations, or data flows.
  Data Models: The structure may be part of a data model that is currently active or in use.
  Open Sessions: There may be open sessions or processes that are utilizing the structure, preventing its deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction codes like RSU1, RSU2, or RSU3 to check for dependencies related to the structure you want to delete.
  You can also use the SE11 transaction to check the structure's usage in various database tables or objects.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If you find that the structure is being used in queries, InfoProviders, or other objects, you will need to either delete or modify those objects to remove the dependency.
  For example, if the structure is used in a query, you may need to delete or modify the query first.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Processes:
  
  Ensure that there are no active processes or sessions that are using the structure. You can check for active processes in transaction SM66 or SM50.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the structure is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is not in a state that prevents deletion.
  
  
  
  Recheck Deletion:
  
  After removing all dependencies, try to delete the structure again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), RSU1 (InfoObject), RSU2 (DataSource), and RSU3 (Data Flow).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on managing InfoObjects and DataSources.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues or patches related to the error message RSUQ125.
