  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Either the object is being processed by another user and is, therefore,
    locked to ensure consistency or else you do not have the system
    authorization required to carry out the action required for the object
    in question.

    System Response

    The authorization concept of the ABAP/4 Dictionary checks the
    authorization according to the following criteria:
    authorization to carry out a specific action
    authorization to edit a specific object type (for example, TABL or
    INDX)
    authorization to edit objects assigned to a specific development class

    How to fix this error?

    If the object is being edited by another user, the system sets a lock
    that is released when editing of the object is complete. You can then
    try again to edit the object.
    Check your authorizations and, if necessary, contact the system
    administrator responsible.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD519 - Object locked or no authorization ?

    The SAP error message AD519, which states "Object locked or no authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify an object (such as a program, function module, or other repository objects) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations or when the object is locked by another user or process.

    Causes:

    1. Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorizations to access or modify the object. This can happen if the user's role does not include the necessary permissions.
