Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA001 - Object &1 is currently locked by user &2; editing not possible ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA001 indicates that a specific object (denoted by &1) is currently locked by another user (denoted by &2), which prevents you from editing that object. This is a common issue in SAP systems where multiple users may attempt to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: In SAP, when a user opens an object for editing, it gets locked to prevent other users from making changes simultaneously. This is to ensure data integrity and avoid conflicts.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left an object open, and due to a session timeout, the lock remains active.
  Unfinished Transactions: If a user has not completed their transaction or has not properly released the lock, the object remains locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the user who has locked the object to finish their work and release the lock. You can try to access the object again after some time.
  Identify the Lock: You can use transaction code SM12 to view the list of locks in the system. Here, you can identify the user who has locked the object and the specific object that is locked.
  Contact the User: If you can identify the user who has locked the object, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If the user is unavailable and you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the user is still working on the object.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. You can check transaction SM37 to see if there are any jobs running that might be holding the lock.
  System Administrator: If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact your SAP system administrator for assistance. They may have additional tools or permissions to help resolve the lock.
