  The SAP error message MDG_HDB_SEARCH059 with the description "Status check in progress; wait until status check is completed" typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when a search operation is initiated, but the system is still processing a previous request or operation. This can happen in scenarios where the system is busy with a long-running task, such as data synchronization or index building.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Process: The most common cause is that a previous search or data processing operation is still in progress, and the system is not yet ready to handle a new request.
  System Load: High system load or performance issues can lead to delays in processing requests, causing the status check to take longer than expected.
  Database Locks: There may be locks on the database that prevent the completion of the current operation.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the search or indexing settings in the MDG system can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the ongoing process to complete. Monitor the system to see if the status changes after some time.
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 to check for any background jobs that might be running and causing the delay. If you find any jobs that are stuck or taking too long, you may need to investigate further.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing performance by checking for resource bottlenecks (CPU, memory, I/O) and addressing them.
  Database Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the database that might be causing the issue. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can release them.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings for the MDG search and indexing. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no issues with the search service.
  Restart Services: If the issue persists, consider restarting the relevant services or the application server to clear any stuck processes.
