How to fix this error?

An archiving object can be inconsistent because:
No structure definition exists for an archiving object
No table relationship exists for a structure definition inside the
archiving object
An archiving object can be made consistent by creating consistent
structure definitions.
If your archiving object is inconsistent, check whether structure
definition exists, if not get the structure definition.
If structure definition exists, then check whether table relationship
exists for the structure definition. If not maintain it either by using
'get table relationship' or in some cases manually.
Do a save after generating all the structure definitions. This will make
the archiving object consistent.
<ZH>Note</>: The structure definition is consistent if at least one
table relationship exists.
