  The SAP error message ECATT371 typically indicates that you are trying to change a test script or a test configuration in the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) environment, but the system is preventing the change due to certain restrictions. This error can occur for various reasons, such as the object being locked, the object being in a transport request, or the object being marked as "not changeable."
  Causes:

  Check Object Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check if the object is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked it.
  Review Transport Requests: Check if the object is part of an active transport request using transaction code SE09 or SE10. If it is, you may need to release the transport request or wait until it is processed.
