• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO717 - Lock object & is still referenced ?

  The SAP error message DO717 indicates that a lock object is still being referenced, which typically means that a transaction or program is trying to access a lock object that is currently in use or has not been released properly. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a program is trying to lock a database record that is already locked by another transaction.
  
  Cause:
  
  Unreleased Locks: A previous transaction may not have released the lock on the object, either due to an error or because it was terminated unexpectedly.
  Long-Running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold onto the lock longer than expected, causing other transactions to fail when they try to access the same object.
  Deadlocks: In some cases, a deadlock situation may arise where two or more transactions are waiting for each other to release locks.
  Incorrect Lock Handling: The program logic may not be correctly
