/CUM/ARCHIVE019 - Details

• The SAP error message /CUM/ARCHIVE019 &1 is currently locked by user &2 typically indicates that a specific archive object (identified by &1) is currently locked by another user (identified by &2). This can occur in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same archive object simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing the archive object, which prevents your session from obtaining the necessary lock to perform the required operation.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place that are not released properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by another user, the simplest solution is to wait for that user to complete their transaction and then try again.
  Identify the Locking User: You can use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries)
