• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQ107 - InfoSet & is already being edited by & ?

  The SAP error message AQ107 indicates that an InfoSet is currently being edited by another user. This typically occurs when multiple users attempt to modify the same InfoSet simultaneously, leading to a lock on the object to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: Another user has opened the InfoSet for editing, which locks the object.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have been closed properly, leaving the InfoSet in a locked state.
  System Issues: Occasionally, system errors or bugs can lead to locks not being released properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the InfoSet, the simplest solution is to wait until they finish and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the system using transaction code SM12. Look for locks related to the InfoSet and see if you can identify the user who is editing it.
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the InfoSet.
  Communicate with Users: If you know who is editing the InfoSet, you can communicate with them to coordinate editing efforts.
  System Restart: In rare cases, a system restart may be required to clear any persistent locks, but this should be done with caution and typically involves system administration.
