• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVP_DP_ILM049 - SoRT data of Contact Person &1 is currently locked by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message CVP_DP_ILM049 indicates that the sort data for a contact person is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, leading to a lock situation to maintain data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or has locked the contact person data you are trying to access.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to more frequent locking scenarios, especially in high-traffic environments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work and then try again. Locks are usually temporary.
  Identify the Locking User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can check which user is holding the lock. You can do this using transaction code SM12 (Display and Delete Locks). Look for the relevant lock entry and see which user is holding it.
  Contact the Locking User: If possible, communicate with the user who is holding the lock to see if they can release it or if they are done with their task.
  Release the Lock: If the locking user is no longer active (e.g., they have logged off unexpectedly), you may need to delete the lock entry using transaction code SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the user was in the middle of a transaction.
  Check for Long-Running Transactions: If this issue occurs frequently, investigate if there are long-running transactions that are causing locks to persist longer than necessary.
  System Configuration Review: If locking issues are common, consider reviewing the system configuration and user access patterns to optimize performance and reduce locking scenarios.
