Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF375 - System Maintenance in parallel: Only display operations are possible ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF375 System Maintenance in parallel: Only display operations are possible typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when multiple users or processes are trying to perform write operations on the same business object simultaneously. This is a safety mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies and ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The error is triggered when a user attempts to perform a modification (like create, update, or delete) on a business object while another user or process is already performing a maintenance operation on the same object.
  System Maintenance Mode: The system may be in a maintenance mode where only read operations are allowed to ensure that no changes are made during critical updates or maintenance tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the error is due to concurrent access, the simplest solution is to wait for a moment and then retry the operation. This allows the other process to complete.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the business object. If you find any locks that are not being released, you may need to investigate further or contact your system administrator.
  System Maintenance: If the system is undergoing maintenance, you may need to wait until the maintenance is completed. Check with your system administrator or the relevant team to get updates on the maintenance status.
  Review Custom Code: If you have custom code that interacts with BOPF, ensure that it is not causing unnecessary locks or conflicts. Review the logic to ensure it handles concurrent access appropriately.
  Increase Timeout Settings: In some cases, increasing the timeout settings for transactions may help alleviate the issue, but this should be done with caution and in consultation with your SAP Basis team.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view locks), SM21 (to check system logs), and ST22 (to check dumps) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for handling concurrent access in BOPF.
  Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation on BOPF and concurrent processing to understand how to design your applications to minimize such conflicts.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to engage SAP support for further assistance.
