  The SAP error message DIWP1281 indicates that a specific transport layer (TL) or transport route (HTL) cannot be archived because it is still in use. This typically occurs when the transport layer or route is associated with existing transport requests or is actively being used in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Active Transport Requests: The transport layer or route is linked to one or more transport requests that have not yet been released or are still in use.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the transport layer or route that prevent it from being archived.
  Configuration: The transport layer or route may be configured in a way that it cannot be archived until certain conditions are met.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Transport Requests: 
  
  Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check for any active transport requests associated with the TL/HTL in question. If there are any, you will need to either release them or delete them if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Requests: 
  
  If there are transport requests that are still in the "modification" status, you can release them. This can be done by selecting the transport request and choosing the "Release" option.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies: 
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the TL/HTL in other transport requests or configurations. If there are, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Layer Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration of the transport layer or route to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions preventing archiving.
