• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBOSC372 - [&1] Error while creating transport request; object already locked in &2 ?

  The SAP error message DBOSC372 indicates that there is an issue with creating a transport request because the object you are trying to transport is already locked in the specified transport directory. This can happen for various reasons, such as concurrent attempts to modify the same object or a previous transport request that has not been released properly.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to transport is currently locked by another user or process. This can occur if someone else is editing the same object or if a previous transport request is still in process.
  Incomplete Transport Request: A transport request may not have been released properly, leaving the object in a locked state.
  System Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport management system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Lock:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the object. You can filter by the object name or user to see if it is locked by another user.
  If you find that the object is locked by another user, you may need to contact that user to release the lock.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Request:
  
  If the object is locked due to an incomplete transport request, you may need to release that transport request. Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to find and release the transport request.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Directory:
  
  Ensure that the transport directory is functioning correctly. You can check the transport logs for any errors or issues that may indicate a problem with the transport system.
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry:
  
  If the lock is temporary (e.g., due to another user working on the object), you may need to wait for a while and then try to create the transport request again.
  
  
  
  Contact Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can help investigate further and resolve any underlying issues with the transport system.
