  The SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_TOOL302 indicates that a specific report (denoted as &1) is already running in the system. This situation typically arises when a user attempts to execute a report that is already in progress, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The report is already being executed by another user or process.
  Long-Running Reports: The report may take a significant amount of time to complete, causing other attempts to run the same report to be blocked.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP has a locking mechanism to prevent multiple instances of the same report from running simultaneously, which can lead to data inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Running Jobs: 
  
  Use transaction SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for the report in question and see if it is currently running.
  If you find that the report is running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Terminate the Job: 
  
  If the report is stuck or taking too long, and you have the necessary authorizations, you can terminate the job from SM37.
  Select the job and choose the option to cancel or delete it.
  
  
  
  Communicate with Users: 
  
  If multiple users are trying to run the same report, communicate with your team to avoid concurrent executions.
  
  
  
  Review Report Logic: 
  
  If the report frequently runs into this issue, consider reviewing its logic or performance to optimize execution time.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be preventing the report from running. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (with caution).
