• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42629 - Info object is checked out ?

  The SAP error message 42629, which states "Info object is checked out," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a user attempts to modify an InfoObject that is currently checked out by another user. This is a part of the version management system in SAP, which allows users to work on objects without affecting the main version until they check it back in.
  Cause:
  
  Checked Out by Another User: The InfoObject is currently checked out by another user, preventing you from making changes.
  User Lock: The object may be locked due to a user session that has not been properly closed or released.
  Version Management: The version management feature in SAP BW is designed to prevent simultaneous modifications to the same object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Who Has the Object Checked Out:
  
  Use transaction code RSOBJV to view the status of the InfoObject and see who has it checked out.
  
  
  
  Contact the User:
  
  If another user has the object checked out, you may need to contact them to either check it back in or coordinate changes.
  
  
  
  Check In the Object:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions and the object is checked out by you, you can check it back in using the appropriate transaction (e.g., RSA1 for InfoObjects).
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If you suspect that the object is locked due to a session issue, you can use transaction code SM12 to check for and release any locks associated with the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Admin Intervention:
  
  If the object is checked out and the user is unavailable, an administrator may need to forcibly check in the object or release the lock.
