• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER015 - Composition is locked by another process ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER015 indicates that a composition (or process) is locked by another process. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with product compliance management or similar functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The most common cause of this error is that another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the same composition. SAP locks certain objects to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Long-Running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold a lock on the composition, preventing other users from accessing it.
  System Issues: Occasionally, system issues or bugs can lead to locks not being released properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is due to another user or process, waiting for a short period and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Identify the Locking Process: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) to identify which user or process is holding the lock. You can then communicate with that user to resolve the issue.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other process is still active.
  Check for Long-Running Transactions: If you suspect that a long-running transaction is causing the lock, you can check transaction SM66 (global overview of processes) to identify and manage such transactions.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may be necessary to clear any lingering locks, but this should be done as a last resort and typically requires coordination with your SAP Basis team.
  
  Related Information:
