  The SAP error message DT153 indicates that there is an issue with writing an active runtime object (header) to the database. This error typically occurs in the context of data transport or when working with data objects in SAP, such as when trying to activate or transport a data object (like a DataStore Object or InfoObject) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or similar environments.
  Causes:
  
  Database Locking Issues: The database table may be locked by another process, preventing the write operation.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to write to the database.
  Database Connection Problems: There may be issues with the database connection, such as network problems or database server downtime.

  Check for Data Consistency: Review the data being processed to ensure there are no inconsistencies or errors. You may need to validate or clean the data before attempting to write it to the database again.
