• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DAAG_API031 - Undo cannot be performed; object &1 is locked in data aging run &2 ?

  The SAP error message DAAG_API031 indicates that an attempt to perform an undo operation on a data aging object has failed because the object is currently locked by an ongoing data aging run. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's data aging functionality, which is used to manage and archive data in a way that optimizes system performance and storage.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A data aging object (e.g., a table or data set) is being processed in a data aging run.
  Another process or user attempts to perform an undo operation on that same object while it is still locked by the ongoing data aging process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Data Aging Run:
  
  Use transaction codes like DAAG or DAAG_RUN to monitor the status of ongoing data aging runs.
  Identify if the data aging run is still active or if it has completed.
  
  
  
  Wait for the Data Aging Run to Complete:
  
  If the data aging run is still in progress, you will need to wait until it finishes. Once the run is complete, you should be able to perform the undo operation without encountering the lock.
  
  
  
  Identify and Terminate Long-Running Processes:
  
  If the data aging run is taking an unusually long time, you may need to investigate the cause. Check for any performance issues or bottlenecks in the system.
  If necessary, you can terminate the data aging run (with caution) using transaction codes like SM37 to monitor and manage background jobs.
  
  
  
  Retry the Undo Operation:
  
  Once the data aging run has completed and the object is no longer locked, retry the undo operation.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
