What causes this issue?

If you want to change the update period (time unit), the program checks
to see whether the info structure whose update period you want to
change has already been updated. This is the only way in which
inconsistent statistical data can be avoided.
This check can only be made in the target system or target client.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
