  The SAP error message O8140 indicates that there was a failure in updating the table OIGDL, which is related to the Object Information Group (OIG) in the SAP system. The message provides two key pieces of information: the key that was being processed (&1) and the return code (RC=&2), which can help diagnose the issue.
  Causes
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The key being processed may not exist in the table, or there may be constraints (like foreign key constraints) that are being violated.
  Locking Issues: The table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the update from being completed.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to update the table.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as corruption or connectivity problems.

  Solutions
  
  Check the Key: Verify that the key (&1) being processed is valid and exists in the OIGDL table.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the update operation.
  Database Health: Check the health of the database and ensure that there are no connectivity or corruption issues.
