  Cause:
  
  User Locking: Another user is currently editing or executing the campaign, which places a lock on it.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or bugs in the system that are causing the lock to persist.
  
  Solution:

  Contact the User: If you identify the user who has locked the campaign, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock.
  System Administrator: If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact your SAP system administrator for assistance. They may have the necessary permissions to unlock the campaign or investigate further.
