  The SAP error message UJA_EXCEPTION704, which states "Could not delete CompositeProvider &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an attempt to delete a CompositeProvider that is either in use or has dependencies that prevent its deletion.
  Causes:
  
  Active Usage: The CompositeProvider is currently being used in queries, reports, or other objects, which prevents its deletion.
  Dependencies: There may be other objects (like InfoProviders, queries, or transformations) that depend on the CompositeProvider, making it impossible to delete.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the CompositeProvider may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues or inconsistencies in the BW system that are causing the deletion to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction code RSRT to check if there are any queries or reports that are using the CompositeProvider.
