  The SAP error message CNVHCM_PRESEL247 indicates that a selection was last unlocked by a specific user at a certain date and time. This message typically occurs in the context of data migration or data selection processes, particularly when using tools like the SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) data migration tool.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a situation where a user has previously locked a selection for processing, and another user is attempting to access or modify that selection. The system prevents concurrent modifications to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the User: Check the user ID mentioned in the error message. This user has the lock on the selection.
  
  
  Contact the User: If possible, reach out to the user who has the lock. They may need to complete their task or release the lock.
  
  
  Wait for Release: If the user is currently working on the selection, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  
  
  Unlock Manually: If the user is no longer available or the lock is not being released, a system administrator may need to manually unlock the selection. This can typically be done through transaction codes like SM12 (for locking entries) or by using specific administrative tools.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks. Check if there are any running jobs that might be causing the lock.
  
  
  Review System Logs: Look into system logs for any additional information that might help diagnose the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to view and manage locks) and SM21 (to check system logs).
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to avoid unnecessary locks.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific data migration tool you are using for more detailed troubleshooting steps.
