• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_REPORT_TEMPLATE205 - One template will not be set to historical; it is being used ?

  The SAP error message CM_REPORT_TEMPLATE205 indicates that a specific report template cannot be set to historical status because it is currently in use. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's reporting or template management functionalities, where a template is actively being utilized in reports or processes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the report template you are trying to set to historical status is still linked to active reports or is being referenced in some ongoing processes. SAP does not allow a template to be archived or set to historical if it is still in use to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Solution:

  Active reports that are utilizing the template.
  Scheduled jobs or processes that reference the template.

  Stop Usage: Once you have identified where the template is in use, you will need to:
  
  Stop any active reports or processes that are using the template.
  Ensure that no users are currently accessing the template.
  
  
  
  Set to Historical: After confirming that the template is no longer in use, you can attempt to set it to historical status again.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: If the template is part of a larger reporting framework, ensure that there are no dependencies that might prevent it from being archived.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific steps or implications of setting a template to historical, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
