• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPRUNX109 - Form layout is not current; an upgrade is running ?

  The SAP error message FPRUNX109 indicates that the form layout you are trying to use is not current because an upgrade or modification is in progress. This typically occurs when changes are being made to the form layout in the SAP system, and the system is preventing access to ensure data integrity during the upgrade process.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Upgrade: The most common cause is that an upgrade or modification to the form layout is currently being executed in the background.
  Form Layout Changes: Changes to the form layout (e.g., Smart Forms, SAPscript) are being made, and the system is locking the form to prevent inconsistencies.
  Transport Requests: If a transport request containing changes to the form layout is being imported, it can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for the Upgrade to Complete: The simplest solution is to wait until the upgrade or modification process is completed. Once the process is finished, you should be able to access the form layout without issues.
  Check Background Jobs: You can check the status of background jobs in transaction SM37. Look for any jobs related to form layout changes or upgrades and see if they are still running.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the upgrade seems to be taking an unusually long time, consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that there are no issues with the upgrade process.
  Refresh the Form Layout: If you have access, you can try to refresh or re-activate the form layout in transaction SMARTFORMS or SE71 (for SAPscript) after the upgrade is complete.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the form layout that might be causing the issue. If you find any locks that should not be there, you may need to release them (with caution).
