• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8I035 - The Transaction is locked by user & ?

  The SAP error message 8I035 indicates that a transaction is locked by a specific user. This typically occurs when a user is currently processing a transaction, and another user attempts to access or modify the same transaction, leading to a lock situation.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The transaction is being processed by another user, and SAP locks the transaction to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Timeout: A user may have left a transaction open, and the session has not been properly closed.
  System Error: Sometimes, a system error or crash can leave a transaction in a locked state.
  Long-running Processes: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it may remain locked for an extended period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the transaction is locked by another user, you may need to wait until that user completes their work and releases the lock.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. You can check which user has locked the transaction and the details of the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the transaction.
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user who has locked the transaction to see if they can complete their work or release the lock.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks. Check transaction SM37 to see if any background jobs are running that might be causing the lock.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from a system administrator to investigate further.
