• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN169 - Input-ready property of &1/&2 disabled; &2 is still setting locks ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN169 indicates that the input-ready property for a certain query (identified by &1 and &2) is disabled because the query is still setting locks. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a query is being executed or processed, and it is unable to allow user input due to ongoing locks.
