• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHSB_RC179 - Cannot save result because &1 of &2 is locked ?

  The SAP error message EHSB_RC179 indicates that a specific object (in this case, a result) cannot be saved because it is locked by another user or process. This is a common issue in SAP systems where multiple users may be trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The object you are trying to save is currently locked by another user or transaction. This can happen if another user is editing the same result or if a previous transaction did not release the lock properly.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold onto locks longer than expected, preventing others from accessing the same data.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place that should have been released.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary (e.g., another user is currently editing the object), you may simply need to wait for them
