  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PPEMPA841 Change /ISDFPS/FORVPA: client & started typically indicates that there is an issue related to the client status in the SAP system, particularly in the context of the SAP IS-DFPS (Industry Solution for Defense Forces and Security) module. This error usually arises when there is an attempt to change or modify data in a client that is currently in a "started" state, which means that the client is active and possibly being used by other processes or users.
  Cause:
  
  Client Status: The client you are trying to modify is currently active or in use. This can happen if users are logged into the client or if there are background jobs running.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP has a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If the client is locked for changes, you will receive this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent changes to certain data in the client.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Client Status: Verify the status of the client. You can do this by going to transaction SCC4 and checking the status of the client. If the client is active, you may need to wait until it is free or log off users.
  Log Off Users: If there are users logged into the client, you may need to ask them to log off or check for any background jobs that might be running.
  Use Transaction SM12: Check for any locks on the relevant tables using transaction SM12. If there are locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (ensure you have the necessary authorizations).
  Client Copy or Transport: If you are trying to perform a client copy or transport, ensure that the target client is not in use.
  Consult Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can provide insights into client status and any underlying issues.
