  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SKWT_MESSAGES086 - Context not deleted, still used by packages ?

    The SAP error message SKWT_MESSAGES086 indicates that a context in the SAP system has not been deleted because it is still being referenced by one or more packages. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Knowledge Warehouse or similar systems where contexts are used to manage data and metadata.

    Cause:

    The error arises when you attempt to delete a context that is still in use. This can happen for several reasons:

    1. Active Packages: There are packages that are still using the context you are trying to delete.
    2. Dependencies: Other objects or components in the system may depend on the context, preventing its deletion.
    3. Incomplete Cleanup: Previous operations may not have fully cleaned up references to the context.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Identify Dependencies:

      • Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check which packages or objects are referencing the context.
      • You can also use the SKWT transaction to analyze the context and its dependencies.
    2. Remove References:

      • If you find packages that are using the context, you will need to either delete or modify those packages to remove the dependency on the context.
      • Ensure that any active processes or jobs that might be using the context are stopped.
    3. Delete the Context:

      • Once all references to the context have been removed, you can attempt to delete the context again.
      • Use the appropriate transaction (like SKWT) to perform the deletion.
    4. Check for Errors:

      • After attempting to delete the context, check for any error messages. If the error persists, re-evaluate the dependencies.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • If you are unsure about the dependencies or how to proceed, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP Basis or development team for assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SKWT, SE11, SE80, and others that may help in managing contexts and packages.
