  The SAP error message CBGLBC026 indicates that a background request cannot be canceled. This error typically occurs in the context of background job processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with transport requests or background jobs that are currently running or have already completed.
  Causes:
  
  Job Status: The background job associated with the request may be in a status that does not allow cancellation (e.g., it may already be completed or in a state that cannot be interrupted).
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to cancel the request may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  System Lock: There may be a system lock or a dependency on other processes that prevents the cancellation of the request.
  Transport Request: If the request is a transport request, it may be in a state that does not allow for cancellation, such as being released or imported.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction SM37 to check the status of the background job. If the job is completed or in a non-cancelable state, you may need to take different actions (e.g., wait for it to finish).

  System Locks: Investigate if there are any locks or dependencies that are preventing the cancellation. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Manual Intervention: If the job is stuck or in an undesirable state, you may need to manually intervene by contacting your SAP Basis team to forcefully terminate the job or request.
  Review Transport Logs: If the request is a transport request, check the transport logs for any issues that may be preventing cancellation.
