• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECN102 - Configuration &2 blocked by user &1 (only display possible) ?

  The SAP error message ECN102 indicates that a specific configuration (denoted by &2) is blocked by a user (denoted by &1), and as a result, only display access is possible for that configuration. This typically occurs in the context of configuration management, where certain configurations may be locked to prevent changes while they are being reviewed or modified by a user.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The configuration is locked by a specific user, which prevents other users from making changes to it.
  Change Management: The configuration might be under review or in a state where changes are not allowed until certain conditions are met (e.g., approval processes).
  System Settings: The system may have been configured to restrict access to certain configurations based on user roles or statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the User: Determine which user has locked the configuration. This can typically be done by checking the lock entries in the system.
  Contact the User: If appropriate, contact the user who has locked the configuration to discuss the need for access or to request that they unlock it.
  Unlock the Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, you can unlock the configuration using transaction codes like SM12 (to view and delete lock entries) or SM21 (to check system logs).
  Review Configuration Status: Ensure that the configuration is in the correct status for the intended operations. If it is meant to be editable, check if there are any approval processes or workflows that need to be completed.
  Check User Roles: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to access and modify the configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 for lock entries, SE03 for transport organizer tools, and SE11 for data dictionary objects.
