• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI5/CAT_APPS_IMPORT016 - Deletion was rolled back ?

  The SAP error message /UI5/CAT_APPS_IMPORT016 Deletion was rolled back typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or UI5 applications when there is an issue during the deletion of a catalog or application. This error indicates that the deletion process could not be completed successfully and was rolled back, meaning that no changes were made to the system.
  Causes
  
  
  Dependency Issues: The application or catalog you are trying to delete may have dependencies that prevent its deletion. For example, if the catalog is assigned to a role or if there are applications linked to it, the system will not allow the deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Problems: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the catalog or application.
  
  
  System Errors: There could be underlying system issues, such as database locks or inconsistencies, that are causing the deletion to fail.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the deletion is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself that prevent the deletion from being executed.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete a catalog or application, check for any dependencies. Ensure that the catalog is not assigned to any roles or that there are no applications linked to it. Remove any dependencies before trying to delete again.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust the user's roles and permissions.
  
  
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the deletion was rolled back.
  
  
  Database Locks: Check for any database locks that might be preventing the deletion. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
  
  
  Transport Request: If the deletion is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that there are no issues with the transport management system.
