    The SAP error message CM_ARCHIV225 typically indicates an issue during the archiving process, specifically during the "Write" step of the archiving job. This error can arise due to various reasons, including configuration issues, system resource limitations, or problems with the archiving object itself.

    2. Authorization Problems: The user executing the archiving job may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the archiving operation.
    3. Database Issues: There may be issues with the database, such as locks, insufficient space, or connectivity problems.
    4. File System Issues: The target directory for the archived files may not have sufficient space, or there may be permission issues preventing writing to the directory.
