  The SAP error message SUPG_SGEN066 indicates that there is an issue with the shadow system during the SGEN (SAP Generate) process. This error typically occurs when you attempt to abort the shadow SGEN process on a non-shadow system or when the system is not in the correct state for such an operation.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect System Type: The error suggests that the operation you are trying to perform (aborting the shadow SGEN) is only valid on a shadow system, which is typically a temporary or development system used for specific purposes.
  System State: The system may not be in the correct state to perform the operation, possibly due to ongoing processes or locks.
