• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /LIME/CORE134 - Object is already locked: &1; parameters: &2 &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /LIME/CORE134 Object is already locked: &1; parameters: &2 &3 &4 indicates that a specific object in the SAP system is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or processing the same object.
  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock on the object for an extended period.
  System Errors: Sometimes, locks may not be released properly due to system errors or crashes.
  Lock Table Overflow: If the lock table is full, it may prevent new locks from being created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to view the lock entries. You can check which user or process is holding the lock on the object.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt the work of the user holding the lock.
  Check for Long-running Transactions: Use transaction SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be holding locks.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from a system administrator to investigate further, especially if it involves system errors or lock table issues.
