• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MARKERS011 - The group data for the marker &1 is locked by &2 ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MARKERS011 indicates that the group data for a specific marker (identified by &1) is locked by another user or process (identified by &2). This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fashion Management or similar modules where markers are used for planning and production purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or processing the marker data, which locks the data for other users to prevent conflicts.
  System Lock: The system may have a temporary lock due to a previous transaction that has not been completed or released.
  Long-running Processes: A background job or a long-running transaction may be holding the lock on the marker data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is due to another user, wait for them to finish their transaction and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can look for the user &2 to see if they are still active and holding the lock.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user holding the lock, you may want to contact them to see if they can release the lock.
  Release Locks: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, this should be done with caution as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs that might be holding the lock and see if they can be terminated or rescheduled.
  System Restart: In rare cases, a system restart may be required to clear persistent locks, but this should be done as a last resort and typically requires coordination with your IT department.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries), SM21 (for system logs), and ST22 (for dumps) to troubleshoot further.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage locks in the system.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific module you are working with for additional context and troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
