  The SAP error message AREN030: Inactive configuration retrieved typically occurs in the context of SAP Variant Configuration (VC). This error indicates that the system has retrieved a configuration that is not active, meaning that the configuration is not valid for the current context or has not been properly activated.
  Causes:
  
  Inactive Configuration: The configuration you are trying to use has not been activated in the system.
