  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the activation is in progress, wait for a few minutes and then try to activate the service or configuration again.
  Check Activation Status: Use transaction codes like /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE or /IWFND/GW_CLIENT to check the status of the service activation. This can help you determine if the activation is still in progress or if it has failed.
