• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHENV_SCEN035 - Cannot delete compliance scenario; it contains locked objects ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHENV_SCEN035 indicates that you are trying to delete a compliance scenario that contains locked objects. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Environment Management, where compliance scenarios are used to manage and monitor compliance-related activities.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of locked objects within the compliance scenario you are attempting to delete. Locked objects can be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Active processes or transactions that are currently using the objects.
  Objects that are in a state of being edited or processed by another user or system.
  Dependencies on other compliance scenarios or objects that prevent deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Locked Objects:
  
  Check which objects are locked within the compliance scenario. You may need to consult the system logs or use transaction codes like SM12 (to view lock entries) to identify the locked objects.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can release the locks on the identified objects. This may involve:
  
  Ending any active processes that are using the objects.
  Asking other users to release their locks if they are holding them.
  If necessary, you can delete the lock entries using transaction SM12, but be cautious as this can affect other users.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies on other compliance scenarios or objects that might prevent deletion. You may need to adjust or delete those dependencies first.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once the locks are released and dependencies are resolved, attempt to delete the compliance scenario again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support resources for further guidance on compliance scenarios and object locking.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
