• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SKWS_ERROR054 - There are info objects with the status &1. You may not delete them. ?

  The SAP error message SKWS_ERROR054 indicates that there are InfoObjects in the system that have a specific status (denoted by &1) which prevents their deletion. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when you attempt to delete InfoObjects that are still in use or have dependencies.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because:
  
  The InfoObjects you are trying to delete are still being used in various data models, such as InfoProviders, queries, or transformations.
  The InfoObjects may have a status that does not allow deletion, such as being active, in use, or locked.
  There may be dependencies or references to these InfoObjects in other objects or processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of InfoObjects:
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Navigate to the InfoObjects and check their status. Ensure that they are not active or locked.
  
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use the "Where-Used List" feature to identify where the InfoObjects are being used. This can be done by right-clicking on the InfoObject and selecting "Where-Used List."
  Review the list of dependent objects (e.g., InfoProviders, queries, transformations) and determine if they need to be modified or deleted first.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If the InfoObjects are used in queries or InfoProviders, you will need to either delete or modify those objects to remove the dependency.
  If they are part of a transformation or data flow, ensure that those processes are updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Change the Status:
  
  If the InfoObjects are in a status that prevents deletion, you may need to change their status to "inactive" or "obsolete" before attempting to delete them.
  
  
  
  Delete the InfoObjects:
  
  Once all dependencies are resolved and the status is appropriate, you can attempt to delete the InfoObjects again.

  Backup: Always ensure you have a backup or a transport request for your objects before making deletions, as this can help in recovery if needed.
