• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCC1735 - Cannot copy task list &1/&2; task list is locked ?

  The SAP error message FCC1735 indicates that there is an attempt to copy a task list, but the task list is currently locked. This can happen for various reasons, such as the task list being in use by another user or process, or it may be locked due to a previous operation that did not complete successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Task List in Use: Another user or process is currently using the task list, preventing it from being copied.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a task list is being edited or processed, it will be locked.
  Incomplete Transactions: If a previous operation on the task list was interrupted or did not complete, it may remain locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Active Users: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any active locks on the task list. You can look for the specific task list ID and see if it is locked by another user.
  
  If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the task list is locked by another user, you may need to wait until that user has finished their work and released the lock.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks on task lists. Use transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs that might be using the task list.
  
  
  Transaction Rollback: If the task list is locked due to an incomplete transaction, you may need to investigate the transaction logs or use transaction SM21 to check for any errors that occurred during the last operations.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or SAP directly for assistance.
