Maintain the variants for the deletion program first

What causes this issue?

No variants have been maintained for the delete program. Consequently,
the delete program cannot be run.

System Response

It is only possible to run the delete program if you have maintained
variants for the delete program in both test and production modes in
the Customizing settings. You must also ensure that these variants
actually exist.
If the delete program is to be triggered automatically by the write
program, you must have maintained the variants for the delete program.

How to fix this error?

Create a test mode variant and a production variant for the delete
program in the archive object and maintain the Customizing settings for
the archiving object.
In transaction <LB>AOBJ,</> select the relevant archiving object and
choose: <LS>Customizing Settings</> -> <LS>Delete Program Settings</>:
<LS>Test Mode/Production Mode.</>
