The message provides two key pieces of information: the key that failed to update (represented by &1) and the return code (RC) that indicates the nature of the failure (represented by &2).
  Causes:
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The key value being used may not exist in the database, or there may be constraints preventing the update.
  Locking Issues: The table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the update from being completed.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the update may not have the necessary permissions to modify the table.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as connectivity problems or corruption.
  Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the system, they may be causing the update to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Key Validity: Verify that the key (&1) being used for the update exists in the OIGCS table and is valid.
  Review Return Code: Analyze the return code (&2) to understand the specific reason for the failure. Common return codes can indicate different issues, such as authorization failures or data integrity problems.
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the OIGCS table. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user holding the lock.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the update. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures.
  Database Health Check: Perform a health check on the database to ensure there are no connectivity or corruption issues. This may involve working with your database administrator.
  Review Custom Code: If there are any custom developments related to the OIGCS table, review the code for potential issues that could lead to the update failure.
