This error message suggests that a specific building block (identified by &1) and its version (&2) are set as a design-time version, which may not be appropriate for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Versioning Issue: The building block is in a design-time state, meaning it is not yet approved or released for production use. This can happen if changes have been made to the building block but have not been finalized.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the transport management system or in the way the building block is being used.
  Inconsistent State: The system may be in an inconsistent state where the building block is expected to be in a different version (e.g., a released version) for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Version Status: Verify the status of the building block in the SAP system. Ensure that it is in the correct state (e.g., released) for the operation you are attempting.
  Release the Building Block: If the building block is still in design time, you may need to release it. This typically involves going through the appropriate change management processes in your organization.
  Transport Request: If changes were made, ensure that they are included in a transport request and that the transport request has been released and imported into the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or your organization's change management procedures for specific steps on how to handle building blocks and their versions.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for assistance.
