  The SAP error message JB_ARCH_DEL197 indicates that there is an issue with the number of entries that are being processed for deletion in the table JBDKOKO during an archiving or deletion job. This message typically arises when the number of entries to be deleted exceeds a certain threshold or limit set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Deletion Limits: The error often occurs when the number of entries that the system attempts to delete in one go exceeds the maximum allowed limit.

  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings for the archiving or deletion job. Look for parameters that define the maximum number of entries to be processed and adjust them if necessary.
  Batch Processing: If the number of entries is too high, consider breaking the deletion process into smaller batches. This can be done by adjusting the selection criteria or using a different approach to delete the entries in smaller groups.
