• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCBO_ARTIFACT_CHK026 - TADIR: DDLS Entry still exists after deletion ?

  The SAP error message SCBO_ARTIFACT_CHK026, which states "TADIR: DDLS Entry still exists after deletion," typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system or during the deletion of certain objects in the system. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the expected state of the TADIR table (which stores information about transport objects) and the actual state after an attempted deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Deletion: The object you are trying to delete may not have been completely removed from the TADIR table. This can happen if there are dependencies or references to the object that prevent its complete removal.
  Transport Issues: If the object was part of a transport request that has not been properly processed or released, it may still have entries in the TADIR table.
  Database Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the database that prevent the deletion from being fully executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no remaining dependencies or references to the object you are trying to delete. This may involve checking related objects or dependencies in the system.
  Manual Deletion: If you are certain that the object should be deleted, you can manually remove the entry from the TADIR table using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility). However, this should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of a Basis administrator.
  Transport Request Management: Check the transport request associated with the object. Ensure that it is released and that there are no pending changes. You may need to re-import or adjust the transport request.
  Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the transport directory and the TADIR table. You can use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to perform checks and repairs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  
  Related Information:
