• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_ARCHIV210 - Report & is locked by another user ?

  The SAP error message CM_ARCHIV210 indicates that a report or document is currently locked by another user, preventing you from accessing or modifying it. This is a common issue in SAP systems where multiple users may attempt to access the same resource simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently using the report, which locks it for editing or viewing.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have been properly closed, leaving the report in a locked state.
  System Error: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave resources in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the report is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try accessing the report again.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the SAP system using transaction code SM12. This will show you which user has locked the report.
  
  Go to transaction SM12.
  Enter the relevant object name or leave it blank to see all locks.
  Execute the transaction to view the locks.
  
  
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock:
  
  In SM12, select the lock entry that you want to release.
  Click on the "Delete" button to release the lock.
  Be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the work of the user who has the report open.
  
  
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who has locked the report, you can contact them to see if they can close their session or release the lock.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also lock reports. You can check for any running jobs using transaction SM37.
  System Restart: In rare cases, a system restart may be required to clear any persistent locks, but this should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your SAP Basis team.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view or release locks.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling locked reports.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to locking mechanisms in your version of SAP.
