Summary

Do you also work on one of those "historically grown" SAP BW Systems? Are you using the system for several years and keep upgrading from one version to the next. Your chances are good, that many things have piled up, that you actually don't need anymore!

...

• Because if it complicates your structure!
• You stumble across those objects from time to time and you do not know why they are still around
• or you actually want at some point to upgrade to SAP BW on HANA or even SAP BW/4HANA. As memory is precious (and "expensive") you only want to take objects with you, that you actually need.

Errors

No real errors here. As these are usually manual tasks, it takes quite some effort. In addition, there is always the "fear" to break something, just because of your good intentions to clean up something!

For the actual decision, if something can be deleted and does not break anything else, you need thorough analysis. Often people plan to do this "later" when they have "more time", but in real life, the "later" is actually a never, as new topics keep coming and coming! After a project/change request is before the next one.

Cause

Most tasks are done manually. Many aspects have to be considered for housekeeping activities to be successful. Identify cleanup candidates, understand dependencies, understand soft factors/information relevant to those elements and so on.
