How to fix this error?

See which BC Sets are affected. In a dialog activation (transaction
SCPR20), you can find the BC Sets affected, in the activation log and
the detail display in the dialog box <ZK>Activation Options</>. To
create an activation log in a dialog activation, end the activation
with the creation of a log. In a background activation, the system
creates an activation log automatically. You can call the activation
log later.
Check the BC Sets and resolve the key conflicts. Check which of the
