• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLMS_TM087 - Wait and retry for client lock ended at &1. ?

  The SAP error message CLMS_TM087 with the description "Wait and retry for client lock ended at &1" typically occurs in the context of client management and transport management in SAP systems. This error indicates that a process was unable to acquire a lock on a client due to it being locked by another process, and after a certain period of waiting, the attempt to acquire the lock has failed.
  Cause:
  
  Client Locking: The client you are trying to access is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen during client copy, client export/import, or other operations that require exclusive access to the client.
  Long-running Processes: If there are long-running transactions or background jobs that hold the client lock, it can lead to this error.
  System Configuration: Misconfiguration in the transport management system or client management settings can also lead to locking issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks. Look for entries related to the client in question and identify the user or process holding the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can manually delete it from the SM12 transaction. Be cautious when doing this, as it may affect ongoing processes.
  Wait for Completion: If the lock is held by a legitimate process (like a client copy), you may need to wait for that process to complete before retrying your operation.
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction SM37 to check for any background jobs that might be running and holding the lock. If necessary, you can cancel these jobs if they are not critical.
  Review System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that might provide additional context about the locking issue.
  Increase Wait Time: If the locking is expected to take a long time, consider increasing the wait time in the configuration settings, if applicable.
