  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  User Lock: A user has locked the pegging/distribution/history copy process, preventing other users from executing the same operation.
  Long-Running Process: A previous process initiated by the user is still running or has not completed, which can lead to a lock on the data.

  Release the Lock: If the user is no longer active or if the process can be safely terminated, you can release the lock. This can be done by:
  
  Asking the user to log off or end their session.
  Using transaction SM12 to manually delete the lock entries associated with the user.
  
  
  
  Retry the Operation: After the lock has been released, try to execute the pegging/distribution/history copy operation again.
