  Database Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the database to identify any inconsistencies. You may need to use transaction codes like DB02 or DBACOCKPIT for database monitoring.
  Transaction Locking: If the database is locked, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or investigate which transaction is holding the lock.
