• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_SERVICE190 - Could not lock object &2 due to user &1 ?

  The SAP error message FDT_SERVICE190 indicates that a specific object (denoted by &2) could not be locked because it is currently being accessed or locked by another user (denoted by &1). This is a common issue in SAP systems where multiple users may attempt to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or has locked the object you are trying to access.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, a previous session may not have released the lock properly.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long, it may hold a lock on the object longer than expected.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations or customizations may lead to unexpected locking behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the object is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user has finished their work and released the lock.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks. You can see which user is holding the lock and the object that is locked.
  
  In SM12, you can filter by the user ID (&1) to find the specific lock.
  
  
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Check for Long-running Transactions: If you suspect that a transaction is taking too long, you can check transaction SM66 (global work process overview) to identify any long-running processes.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user holding the lock, you may want to contact them to see if they can release the lock or if they are still actively working on the object.
  System Configuration Review: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration or discussing with your SAP Basis team to ensure that locking mechanisms are functioning as intended.
