How To Fix AD519 - Object locked or no authorization

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AD - Data Dictionary application messages

• Message number: 519

• Message text: Object locked or no authorization

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.
