  Solution:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 in SAP to check for locks on the routine. You can identify the user or process that is holding the lock and take appropriate action (e.g., ask the user to release the lock).
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entries in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt other users.
  Check Transport Requests: If the routine is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is completed and that the routine is no longer locked.
  Recheck the Routine: After resolving the lock, recheck the routine to ensure it is functioning correctly. You may need to re-execute the data load or transformation process.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help clear any lingering locks or inconsistencies.
