This error indicates that the XPRA process was canceled, and as a result, any changes that were supposed to be saved to the database were not applied.
  Causes:

  Lock Conflicts: There may be database locks that prevent the XPRA from executing successfully.

  Review System Resources: Ensure that the system has adequate resources (memory, CPU) to run the XPRA. If necessary, increase the resources or schedule the XPRA to run during off-peak hours.
