• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CDESK_SRV_MESSAGES105 - Document &1 is locked (checked out) by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message CDESK_SRV_MESSAGES105 indicates that a document (identified by &1) is currently locked because it has been checked out by another user (identified by &2). This typically occurs in environments where document management or version control is implemented, such as SAP Document Management System (DMS) or SAP Content Server.
  Cause:
  
  Document Check-Out: The document is checked out by another user, which prevents other users from making changes or checking it out until it is checked back in.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, a session may not have properly released the lock on the document, leading to it appearing as locked.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or check out the document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify who has the document checked out. You can do this by checking the document's status in the DMS or relevant application.
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user who has the document checked out and request them to check it back in.
  Force Check-In: If the user is unavailable and the document needs to be accessed urgently, an administrator may have the ability to force a check-in or release the lock on the document.
  Session Management: If you suspect a session issue, try logging out and logging back into the SAP system to refresh your session.
  Permissions Review: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to access and check out the document.
