OT422 - Details

• The SAP error message OT422 indicates that a package is locked and signed with a test certificate. This typically occurs in the context of transport management in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with transport requests and packages.
  
  Cause:
  
  Test Certificate: The package is signed with a test certificate, which means it is not intended for production use. This can happen if the development system is using a test or development certificate instead of a production certificate.

  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration, such as incorrect settings or missing authorizations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Package Status: Verify the status of the package in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10). Ensure that it is not locked by another user or process.
