This error indicates that the system is trying to reload an archive, but the archive is not opened or accessible for that operation.
  Cause:
  
  Archive Not Opened: The primary cause of this error is that the archive file that the system is trying to access has not been opened properly. This could be due to a previous error in the archiving process or the archive being in a locked state.
