• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UR173 - Realignment run not in status &2. Extraction not possible ?

  The SAP error message UR173 indicates that a realignment run is not in the expected status, which prevents the extraction process from proceeding. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP ERP systems when dealing with data extraction and realignment processes.
  Cause:
  The error message UR173 can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Incorrect Status of Realignment Run: The realignment run may not be in the correct status (e.g., it might be in a "failed" or "in progress" state) that allows for data extraction.
  Incomplete Realignment Process: The realignment process may not have been completed successfully, leading to an inability to extract data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the data source or the extraction process that prevent the realignment from being recognized as complete.
  Locks or Transactions: There may be locks on the data or ongoing transactions that prevent the realignment from being processed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UR173 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Realignment Status:
