  The SAP error message ILM_STOR713 indicates that the specified origin (in this case, represented by &1) is already in a productive state and should not be used as an administrative origin. This typically occurs in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when trying to perform administrative tasks on an origin that is already being used for productive data storage.

  Check the Origin Status: Verify the status of the origin in question. If it is indeed productive, you will need to either:
  
  Use a different origin that is not in a productive state for your administrative tasks.
  If you need to perform administrative tasks on the productive origin, consider scheduling downtime or maintenance windows where you can safely perform the necessary actions without affecting live operations.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe the origin should not be productive, review the configuration settings to ensure it is set up correctly. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or ILM administrator to understand the implications of changing the status.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: Refer to SAP documentation for ILM to understand the best practices for managing origins and their states. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
