  Retry the Operation: Sometimes, simply waiting a moment and retrying the operation can resolve the issue, especially if it was caused by a temporary lock.
  Review Transaction Logic: If you are developing or customizing transactions, ensure that your code properly handles locking and unlocking of resources.
  System Monitoring: Monitor system performance and load. If the system is frequently under heavy load, consider optimizing performance or scaling resources.
