- (Append) node & was deleted; attributes still exist though ?The SAP error message SDCBO031 indicates that there is an issue with the data model in the context of SAP BusinessObjects or SAP Data Services. Specifically, it suggests that an "Append" node has been deleted, but the attributes associated with that node still exist in the data model.
