  The SAP error message CACSOA048 indicates that a database operation is not intended for process updates. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when there is an attempt to perform a database operation that is not allowed in the current process context.

  Incorrect Database Operation: The operation being attempted (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) is not valid for the current state of the process or the data being handled.
  Process State: The process may be in a state where it cannot accept updates, possibly due to transaction management or locking issues.
