  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_CUST022 indicates that there is a dependency issue with the operational origin in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM). Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to delete a client that has dependent operational origins still in use.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the client you are trying to delete has operational origins that are still linked to it. Operational origins are used in ILM to manage the lifecycle of data, and they must be removed before you can delete the client.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependent Operational Origins:
  
  Use transaction code ILM1 (or the relevant ILM transaction) to check the operational origins associated with the client you are trying to delete.
  Look for any operational origins that are still active or in use.
  
  
  
  Delete or Deactivate Operational Origins:
  
  If you find any operational origins that are dependent on the client, you will need to delete or deactivate them first.
  To delete an operational origin, you can use transaction code ILM2. Make sure to follow the necessary steps to ensure that you are not violating any data retention policies.
  
  
  
  Retry Deleting the Client:
  
  Once all dependent operational origins have been removed, you can attempt to delete the client again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
