This error typically arises in the context of managing service interfaces and their associations with provider systems in SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system is trying to unassign an IBC reference from a provider system that is currently active. In SAP, certain operations, such as unassigning references, require the provider system to be in an inactive state to ensure data integrity and prevent conflicts during the unassignment process.
  Solution:

  Deactivate the Provider System:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (usually in the Integration Directory or the relevant configuration area).
  Locate the provider system associated with the key &1.
  Change the status of the provider system to inactive.
  
  
  
  Unassign the IBC Reference:
  
  Once the provider system is inactive, attempt to unassign the IBC reference again.
  This should now proceed without any errors.
  
  
  
  Reactivate the Provider System (if needed):
  
  After successfully unassigning the IBC reference, you can reactivate the provider system if it is required for further operations.
