• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_UI_SNAPSHOT002 - Snapshot &1 is opened in a new session ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_UI_SNAPSHOT002 indicates that a snapshot (in this case, identified by &1) is currently opened in a different session. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or when working with data replication and transformation processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A user attempts to access or modify a snapshot that is already being accessed in another session.
  The system prevents concurrent access to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Sessions:
  
  Identify if the snapshot is indeed open in another session. You can do this by checking the active sessions in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SM04 (User Overview) or AL08 (Global User Overview) to see if another user or session is using the snapshot.
  
  
  
  Close the Other Session:
  
  If you find that the snapshot is open in another session that you control, you can close that session to release the lock on the snapshot.
  If it is another user's session, you may need to communicate with that user to close their session.
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry:
  
  If the snapshot is being used by a process that cannot be interrupted, you may need to wait until that process is completed before trying to access the snapshot again.
  
  
  
  Check for Long-Running Processes:
  
  Sometimes, long-running processes may hold locks on snapshots. You can check for any long-running jobs using transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and see if any jobs are related to the snapshot.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Review system logs for any additional information that might help diagnose the issue. You can use transaction SLG1 to check application logs related to SLT.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to SLT and snapshots for any specific guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  SLT Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for Landscape Transformation for more context on how snapshots are managed and accessed.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access and modify the snapshot.
