• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SYCM_APS109 - Could not delete artifacts of analysis ?

  The SAP error message SYCM_APS109: Could not delete artifacts of analysis typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an issue with deleting certain artifacts, such as queries, data sources, or other objects related to analysis.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The artifact you are trying to delete may have dependencies or references in other objects, preventing its deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the specified artifacts.

  Technical Issues: There may be underlying technical issues, such as database inconsistencies or system errors.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Review the artifact to see if it is being used by other objects. You can use transaction codes like RSRT (for queries) or RSA1 (for data sources) to check dependencies.
