Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_KB_GUI078 - The containment you wanted to change is in use. ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_KB_GUI078 indicates that you are trying to change a containment (such as a transport request, object, or configuration) that is currently in use or locked by another process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a transport request is being processed, or when an object is being edited or used by another user or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Locked Objects: The object you are trying to modify is locked because it is being used by another user or process.
  Transport Requests: If you are working with transport requests, they may be in a state that prevents changes (e.g., they are being imported or are in a different phase).
  Concurrent Access: Multiple users or processes trying to access the same object simultaneously can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the object you are trying to change. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  Wait for Release: If the object is being used by another user or process, you may need to wait until that process is completed before making your changes.
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that the transport is not currently being imported or processed. You can check the status of transport requests in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  User Coordination: If multiple users are working on the same object, coordinate with them to ensure that changes are made sequentially rather than concurrently.
  System Restart: In some cases, if the lock is due to a system issue, a restart of the relevant application server may help, but this should be done with caution and typically requires system administrator intervention.
