  The SAP error message SOI_UPG217 indicates that there are inactive runtime object entries found in the specified tables during an upgrade or system maintenance process. This error typically arises when the system detects inconsistencies in the runtime objects, which can occur due to various reasons, such as incomplete upgrades, missing transport requests, or issues with the activation of objects.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Upgrade: If the upgrade process was interrupted or not completed successfully, it may leave behind inactive runtime objects.
  Transport Issues: If transport requests that contain necessary changes were not imported correctly, it could lead to inactive entries.
  Object Activation: If certain objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) were not activated properly after a change, they may remain inactive.
  Database Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the database that prevent the activation of runtime objects.
