  The SAP error message FG811, which states "Parallel process archiving is activated," typically occurs when there is an issue with the archiving process in SAP, particularly when multiple archiving processes are trying to run simultaneously. This can lead to conflicts or resource contention, which can prevent the archiving process from completing successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Archiving Jobs: The error usually arises when multiple archiving jobs are scheduled to run at the same time for the same object or data set.
