• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6X035 - File object is currently blocked by user & ?

  The SAP error message 6X035 indicates that a file object is currently blocked by a user. This typically occurs when a user has opened a file for editing or processing, and another user or process attempts to access the same file, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  File Locking: The file is locked by another user or process. This can happen if a user is currently editing the file or if a previous session did not close properly.
  User Session: The user who has locked the file may have an active session that is still holding the lock.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to files being locked for longer than necessary.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Lock:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. You can filter by the user ID or the object name to find out who is currently holding the lock.
  
  
  
  Release the Lock:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. Be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data loss if the user is actively working on the file.
  
  
  
  Contact the User:
  
  If possible, contact the user who has the file locked and ask them to close their session or release the lock.
  
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs:
  
  Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks on files. Check transaction SM37 to see if any background jobs are running that might be causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Review System Configuration:
  
  If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration or discussing with your SAP Basis team to ensure that file locking mechanisms are functioning as intended.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: To view and manage lock entries.
  SM37: To monitor background jobs.
  SM21: To check system logs for any related errors or warnings.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on file locking mechanisms and best practices for managing locks.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly close files and sessions to avoid unnecessary locks.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message 6X035 and prevent it from occurring in the future.
