• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC201 - Requested object &1 currently locked by your own transaction ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC201 indicates that a requested object is currently locked by your own transaction. This typically occurs in the context of the Background RFC (BGRFC) framework, which is used for asynchronous communication between different SAP systems or between different processes within the same system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A BGRFC call is made to an object that is already being processed by the same transaction.
  The object is locked due to a previous BGRFC call that has not yet completed or has failed.
  There may be a long-running process that is holding the lock, preventing other requests from being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BGRFC201 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Transaction:
  
  Use transaction SM58 to check for any stuck or failed BGRFC calls. Look for entries that are in error status and analyze the logs for any issues.
  
  
  
  Release the Lock:
  
  If you identify that a previous transaction is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete. If it is stuck, you may need to terminate it.
  You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks held by your user ID. If you find any locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them.
  
  
  
  Review Application Logic:
  
  Ensure that your application logic is not inadvertently causing multiple BGRFC calls for the same object. Implement checks to prevent re-entrant calls.
  
  
  
  Increase Timeout Settings:
  
  If the processing time for the BGRFC calls is expected to be long, consider increasing the timeout settings for BGRFC in the system configuration.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Check for performance issues in the system that may be causing delays in processing BGRFC calls. This can include database performance, network issues, or resource contention.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to BGRFC and this error message. SAP frequently updates their knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
