  The SAP error message ICA02149 indicates that a specific object (identified by &1 and &2) is already being processed in an inference process. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or similar applications where inference processes are used to derive or calculate data based on existing information.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An inference process is already running for the specified object, and a second attempt to execute the same process is made.
  There may be a long-running process that has not yet completed, leading to a lock on the object.
  There could be a programming or configuration issue that causes the system to incorrectly identify that the process is still active.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Running Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check if there are any active jobs related to the inference process. If you find a job that is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Terminate Long-Running Processes: 
  
  If a process is stuck or taking too long, you may need to terminate it. Be cautious with this step, as terminating a process can lead to data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Review Logs: 
  
  Check the application logs or system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about why the process is still active.
  
  
  
  Retry the Process: 
  
  Once you have confirmed that no other processes are running for the same object, you can attempt to execute the inference process again.
