This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Data Mining or Predictive Analytics functionalities, where multiple mining runs cannot be executed simultaneously on the same data set or model.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that a mining run is already active for the specified data or model. This can happen if:
  
  A previous mining run has not yet completed.
  There is a long-running process that is still executing.
  The system is attempting to start a new mining run before the previous one has finished.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Mining Runs:
  
  Use transaction codes or tools within SAP to check the status of ongoing mining runs. Look for any processes that are still active.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If you find that a mining run is still in progress, you will need to wait for it to complete before starting a new one. Monitor the progress and check for any issues that might be causing delays.
