• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NGC_CORE_DB008 - Class type &1 object &2 cannot be locked: already locked ?

  The SAP error message NGC_CORE_DB008 indicates that a specific object (identified by its class type and object name) cannot be locked because it is already locked by another process. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly in environments where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the object, which prevents your session from obtaining a lock on it.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock on the object longer than expected.
  Deadlocks: In some cases, a deadlock situation may occur where two or more processes are waiting for each other to release locks.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations or settings in the SAP system may lead to unexpected locking behavior.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation
