  The SAP error message /SAPCND/ARCH115 typically relates to issues with the archiving process in SAP, particularly concerning the residence time of data. This error can occur when the system is unable to archive data due to constraints set by the residence time configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Residence Time Configuration: The residence time defines how long data must remain in the database before it can be archived. If the data you are trying to archive does not meet the residence time criteria, the system will prevent the archiving process.
  Data Status: The data may be in a status that does not allow it to be archived. For example, if the data is still being used or is locked, it cannot be archived.
