  Causes:
  
  Table Locking: The table in question may be locked by another process or transaction. This can happen if there are ongoing updates or if another user is accessing the table.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to unlock the table.

  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the operation has the required authorizations to unlock the table. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.

  Restart Replication: If the issue is related to SLT, consider stopping and restarting the replication process to see if that resolves the locking issue.
