  The SAP error message SDMI053 indicates that a migration process is currently in progress, and as a result, the system is unable to start a new migration because it is already handling a certain number of active migrations. The message typically reads something like: "Migration &1 set to WAITING (already &2 migrations active)."

  Adjust Configuration: If you frequently encounter this issue, consider reviewing and adjusting the configuration settings related to migration processes. This may involve increasing the limit on concurrent migrations if your system resources allow it.
  System Performance: Ensure that your system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle multiple migrations if you decide to increase the limit.
