• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SS210 - Object still in use so cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message SS210 ("Object still in use so cannot be deleted") typically occurs when you attempt to delete an object (such as a table, program, or other repository object) that is currently being referenced or used by another object or process in the SAP system. This is a safety mechanism to prevent data integrity issues.
  Causes:
  
  Active References: The object you are trying to delete is being referenced by other objects (e.g., a table being used in a program).
  Open Sessions: There may be open sessions or transactions that are currently using the object.
  Transport Requests: The object might be included in a transport request that is still in process.
  Lock Entries: There may be lock entries in the database that prevent the deletion of the object.
  Dependencies: The object may have dependencies that need to be resolved before deletion.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for dependencies. Look for any objects that reference the one you are trying to delete.
  Close Sessions: Ensure that there are no active sessions or transactions using the object. You can check for active users in transaction SM04 or use transaction SM12 to check for lock entries.
  Remove from Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, you may need to remove it from the request or wait until the transport is completed.
  Delete References: If there are dependent objects, you may need to delete or modify them before you can delete the target object.
  Use Transaction SE14: For database objects, you can use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies and to see if the object can be deleted.
  Check for Custom Code: If the object is referenced in custom code (like ABAP programs), you may need to modify or remove those references.
