Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_TRANSPORT250 - BRF+: System ID &1 is already locked for deletion (no SM12, DB lock used) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_TRANSPORT250 indicates that a system ID is currently locked for deletion in the context of BRF+ (Business Rule Framework plus). This typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete or transport BRF+ objects, but the system is already in a state where it is marked for deletion, preventing further actions.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Lock: The system ID is already marked for deletion, which means that there is an ongoing process that has locked the BRF+ objects for that system.
  Transport Request: If you are trying to transport BRF+ objects, the transport request may be trying to access objects that are currently locked.
  Database Lock: The error message indicates that the lock is not a standard SAP lock (like those seen in transaction SM12) but rather a database-level lock.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any existing locks on the objects you are trying to delete or transport. Although the error states "no SM12," it is still good practice to verify if there are any locks that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Identify the Locking Process:
  
  You may need to identify which process or user is holding the lock. This can often be done through transaction SM21 (System Log) or ST22 (Dump Analysis) to see if there are any related errors or logs that indicate what is causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Wait for the Process to Complete: 
  
  If the lock is due to a legitimate process that is currently running, you may need to wait for that process to complete before attempting to delete or transport the BRF+ objects again.
  
  
  
  Release the Lock: 
  
  If you determine that the lock is no longer needed (for example, if a process has failed), you may need to manually release the lock. This can sometimes be done through database administration tools or by contacting your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: 
  
  If the issue is related to a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that there are no inconsistencies in the transport directory.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: 
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BRF+ Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the BRF+ documentation to understand how objects are managed and the implications of locking and deletion.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance.
