  The SAP error message DB6PM756 DBCFG - LOCKTIMEOUT: value &1 not within permitted range or not allowed typically indicates that the configuration setting for the lock timeout in the database is set to a value that is either out of the allowed range or is not permitted by the database system.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Configuration Value: The value set for the LOCKTIMEOUT parameter is either too high, too low, or not a valid value according to the database's requirements.
  Database Restrictions: Some databases have specific restrictions on the values that can be set for certain parameters, including lock timeouts.
  Incorrect Parameter Setting: The parameter might have been incorrectly set in the SAP system or during the database configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Current Setting: Review the current value of the LOCKTIMEOUT parameter in your database configuration. This can usually be done through the database management tools or SQL commands.

  Adjust the Value: If the current value is outside the permitted range, adjust it to a valid value. For example, if the database allows a range of 0 to 300 seconds, ensure that the value you set falls within this range.
  
  
  SAP Configuration: If the parameter is set through SAP, you may need to adjust it in the SAP system configuration (transaction codes like RZ10 for profile parameters).
  
  
  Restart Services: After making changes to the configuration, you may need to restart the database or the SAP application server for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  Consult with Database Administrator: If you are unsure about the correct settings or how to change them, consult with your database administrator or SAP Basis team for assistance.
