  Solution:
  
  Retry the Operation: Often, simply retrying the operation after a short wait can resolve the issue, especially if it was caused by a temporary locking conflict.
  Check for Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for active locks in the system. If you find any locks related to the gap GUID, you may need to release them if they are no longer needed.
