• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA132 - During deletion the profile "DELETE" is automatically generated ?

  The SAP error message TA132 indicates that during the deletion of a user profile, the system automatically generates a profile named "DELETE." This typically occurs when you attempt to delete a user profile that is still in use or has dependencies that prevent its complete removal.
  Cause:
  
  Active Assignments: The profile you are trying to delete may still be assigned to users or roles.
  Dependencies: There may be other objects or configurations that depend on the profile, preventing its deletion.
  System Restrictions: Certain profiles are protected by the system to prevent accidental deletion, especially if they are standard profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Assignments: 
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check if the profile is assigned to any users. If it is, you will need to remove the profile from those users before attempting to delete it again.
  You can also use transaction PFCG to check if the profile is assigned to any roles.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies: 
  
  Investigate if there are any roles, authorizations, or other configurations that depend on the profile. You may need to adjust or remove these dependencies.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SUIM: 
  
  You can use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to find users assigned to the profile. Navigate to User -> Users by Complex Selection Criteria and search for the profile.
  
  
  
  Profile Deletion: 
  
  Once you have ensured that the profile is no longer in use or has dependencies, you can attempt to delete it again using transaction PFCG or SU01.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If the profile is a standard SAP profile, consult SAP documentation or your system administrator to understand if it is safe to delete.
