• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHPRC_COD_COMMON128 - &1 objects could not be updated because they are locked or in use. ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHPRC_COD_COMMON128 indicates that certain objects cannot be updated because they are either locked or currently in use. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Causes:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to update is locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently using the object.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it may hold locks on objects longer than expected.
  Background Jobs: Background jobs that are processing the same objects can also lead to locking issues.
  User Sessions: If a user has multiple sessions open and is working on the same object, it can lead to conflicts.
  Database Locks: Sometimes, database-level locks can prevent updates to certain objects.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user or process is holding the lock on the object. If appropriate, you can delete the lock entry (be cautious with this action).
  Wait and Retry: If the object is locked by another user, you may need to wait until the other user completes their transaction and releases the lock.
  Identify Long-running Transactions: Use transaction code SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be holding locks.
  Review Background Jobs: Check for any background jobs that may be running and holding locks on the objects you are trying to update. You can use transaction code SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  User Communication: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users to ensure that they are not working on the same objects simultaneously.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may be necessary to clear locks, but this should be done with caution and typically as a last resort.
