  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Message: WXP173 - Info structure &1 was deleted
  
  1. Cause
  The message WXP173 is an informational message indicating that an InfoStructure (Info structure) with the name represented by &1 has been deleted.
  
  InfoStructures are objects in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) used to store aggregated data for reporting.
  This message typically appears when an InfoStructure is deleted either manually by a user or automatically by the system during cleanup or transport activities.
  It is not an error but an informational message confirming the deletion.
  
  
  2. When does it occur?
  
  When you delete an InfoStructure via transaction RSDINF or through the BW Administrator Workbench.
  During transport import if an InfoStructure is removed.
  When cleaning up obsolete or unused InfoStructures.
  Possibly during system upgrades or data model changes.
  
  
  3. Solution / Action
  Since this is an informational message, no error correction is needed if the deletion was intentional.
  
  
  If deletion was intentional:
  
  No action required. The system confirms the InfoStructure was deleted.
  
  
  If deletion was accidental or unexpected:  
  
  Check with your BW administrator or team if the InfoStructure was supposed to be deleted.
  Restore the InfoStructure from a backup or transport request if necessary.
  Rebuild or recreate the InfoStructure if needed.
  Verify dependent objects (like queries or reports) that might be affected by the deletion.

  SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  InfoStructures are part of the older BW data modeling approach; SAP recommends using InfoCubes and ADSOs in newer BW versions.
  Deleting InfoStructures removes the aggregated data stored in them.
  Always ensure that no active reports or processes depend on the InfoStructure before deletion.
  
  
  
  Impact:
  
  Reports or queries based on the deleted InfoStructure will no longer work.
  Data stored in the InfoStructure is lost unless backed up.
