  Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by another user, it may be best to wait until they complete their transaction and then retry your operation.
  Review Long-Running Processes: If you identify a process that is taking too long, investigate why it is slow and optimize it if possible.
  Consult Logs: Check application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context on the issue.
