• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_SERVICE195 - Could not lock object &2 for processing-relevant changes due to user &1 ?

  The SAP error message FDT_SERVICE195 indicates that a specific object (denoted by &2) could not be locked for processing-relevant changes because it is currently locked by another user (denoted by &1). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same object simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or has locked the object you are trying to access.
  Session Timeout: The previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may lead to locks not being released properly.
  
  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. You can then retry your operation.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user has locked the object and potentially contact them to release the lock.
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Review User Sessions: Ensure that there are no orphaned sessions that might be holding locks unnecessarily. You can check this in transaction SM04.
  System Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration or consulting with your SAP Basis team to ensure that locks are being managed appropriately.
