• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA016 - Maintaining wizard UI is only possible in exclusive mode ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA016 indicates that you are trying to maintain a wizard UI in a mode that does not allow for such changes. This typically occurs when the system is not in "exclusive mode," which is required for certain operations in the SAP Fiori or Web Dynpro environments.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to edit or maintain a wizard UI while another user or process is accessing the same object.
  The system is in a mode that does not permit exclusive access, such as when multiple users are working on the same UI component or when the system is in a non-exclusive session.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Other Users:
  
  Ensure that no other users are currently editing the same wizard UI. You may need to coordinate with your team to avoid simultaneous edits.
  
  
  
  Switch to Exclusive Mode:
  
  If you are using a development environment, make sure to switch to exclusive mode. This can often be done by:
  
  Closing other sessions that might be accessing the same object.
  Using the appropriate transaction or tool that allows you to enter exclusive mode.
  
  
  
  
  
  Log Out and Log Back In:
  
  Sometimes, simply logging out of the system and logging back in can help reset the session and allow you to access the wizard UI in exclusive mode.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  If you are using a specific transaction code to access the wizard UI, ensure that you are using the correct one that supports exclusive editing.
  
  
  
  Check System Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the object you are trying to edit. If you find any locks that are not being released, you may need to contact your system administrator.
