The SAP error message DNO167 indicates that a notification is currently locked by another user or process, and you will need to wait for a specified period (in this case, 5 minutes) before attempting to access or modify the notification again. This locking mechanism is a part of SAP's concurrency control to prevent data inconsistencies when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously. Causes: Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing the notification. Long-running Transactions: A transaction that is taking longer than expected may hold the lock on the notification. System Performance Issues: If the system is slow, it may take longer for locks to be released. Background Jobs: A background job may be processing the notification, causing it to be locked. Solutions: Wait and Retry: As the message suggests, wait for 5 minutes and then try again. This is the simplest solution if the lock is temporary. Check Lock Entries:
