  The SAP error message SEDI_ADT025 indicates that a specific object (like a data element, domain, or other programming object) is being used by multiple main programs. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with ABAP programs or data dictionary objects.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to modify or delete an object that is still in use by other main programs.
  There are dependencies on the object that prevent it from being altered or removed.
  The object is locked or being accessed by other users or processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check which programs or objects are using the one you are trying to modify.
  You can also use transaction SE37 (Function Module) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to find references to the object.
  
  
  
  Check Usage:
  
  Look for the specific programs that are using the object. You can do this by checking the "Where-Used List" for the object in question.
  In the case of data elements or domains, you can find out which tables or structures are dependent on them.
  
  
  
  Communicate with Team:
  
  If the object is being used by other developers or programs, communicate with your team to understand the implications of modifying or deleting the object.
  Ensure that any changes are coordinated to avoid disrupting other processes.
  
  
  
  Modify Carefully:
  
  If you need to make changes, consider creating a new version of the object or modifying it in a way that does not affect the existing programs.
  If the object must be deleted, ensure that all dependencies are resolved first.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that your changes are properly included in transport requests and that they are moved to the appropriate environments (QA, Production) after thorough testing.
  
  
  
  Check Locks:
  
  Sometimes, the object may be locked by another user. You can check for locks using transaction SM12 and release them if necessary (ensure you have the appropriate permissions).
