  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/UPD806ERROR019 indicates that a specific person (identified by &1) is locked, and the error message provides additional context with &2. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP applications related to personnel management or data updates, particularly in the SAP SuccessFactors or SAP HCM modules.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the fact that the person (employee) you are trying to update or process is currently locked in the system. This lock can occur for several reasons, including:
  
  The employee's record is being edited by another user.
  The employee's record is in a state that prevents updates (e.g., during a payroll run or other batch processes).
  The employee has been marked as inactive or locked due to administrative reasons.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Lock Status: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the employee's record. You can search for locks by entering the user ID or the object name related to the employee.
  
  
  
  Release Locks: 
  
  If you find that the record is locked by another user, you may need to contact that user to release the lock or, if appropriate, you can delete the lock yourself (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Verify Employee Status: 
  
  Check the employee's status in the system. If the employee is inactive or locked for administrative reasons, you may need to unlock or reactivate the employee's record.
  
  
  
  Wait for Processes to Complete: 
  
  If the lock is due to a batch process (like payroll), you may need to wait until that process is completed before attempting to update the record again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for additional troubleshooting steps.
