  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EIT_IMPORT_UI_TEXT026 - Not all objects could be locked. Try again later. ?

    The SAP error message EIT_IMPORT_UI_TEXT026 indicates that not all objects could be locked during a transaction, which is often related to issues with object locking in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during transport requests, data imports, or when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same objects simultaneously.

    Causes:

    1. Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the same objects, leading to a lock conflict.
    2. Lock Table Overflow: The lock table may be full, preventing new locks from being acquired.
    3. Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold locks longer than expected, causing other requests to fail.
    4. System Performance Issues: High system load or performance issues can lead to delays in lock acquisition.
    5. Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the locking mechanism or transport management system.

    Solutions:

    1. Retry the Operation: Sometimes, simply waiting a few moments and trying the operation again can resolve the issue if it was caused by temporary contention.
    2. Check for Active Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for active locks. You can identify which user or process is holding the lock and take appropriate action (e.g., contacting the user to release the lock).
    3. Increase Lock Table Size: If the lock table is frequently full, consider increasing its size. This can be done by adjusting the profile parameters in the SAP system.
    4. Monitor Long-Running Transactions: Use transaction code SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be holding locks.
    5. System Performance Tuning: If the system is under heavy load, consider performance tuning to improve response times and reduce contention for locks.
    6. Transport Management: If the error occurs during a transport, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that no other transports are conflicting with it.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM12: Display and manage locks.
      • SM66: Global work process overview.
      • ST22: Dump analysis, which can help identify issues related to system performance.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on object locking and transport management for best practices and configuration guidelines.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
