This message indicates that there are no archiving requests that are currently in an unlocked state, which means that the system cannot proceed with the operation you are trying to perform.

  Check Archiving Requests: Use transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to check the status of archiving requests. Look for requests that are in an unlocked state.
  Unlock Requests: If you find that there are requests that should be unlocked but are not, you may need to unlock them manually. This can typically be done through the same transaction (SARA) or by using specific administrative functions.
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using to find archiving requests are correct. Adjust the criteria if necessary to include the requests you are looking for.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to archiving processes for any specific instructions or troubleshooting steps that may apply to your situation.
