• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC195 - Table &1 with text table &2 is being processed by import ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC195 typically indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1) is currently being processed by an import operation, and therefore, it cannot be accessed or modified at that moment. This is a common issue in SAP systems when multiple processes are trying to access the same table simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The most common cause of this error is that another transaction or process is currently importing data into the specified table. This can happen during data migration, batch processing, or when multiple users are trying to access the same data.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a table is locked for writing by one process, other processes will be unable to read or write to that table until the lock is released.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the current import process to complete. Once the process is finished, you can try your operation again.
  Check for Long-Running Processes: Use transaction codes like SM50 (Process Overview) or SM66 (Global Process Overview) to check for any long-running processes that might be holding locks on the table.
  Identify the Lock: You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks. This will help you identify which user or process is holding the lock on the table.
  Terminate the Process: If you find that a process is stuck or taking too long, you may need to terminate it. However, be cautious with this approach, as it can lead to data inconsistencies.
  Review Batch Jobs: If the issue is recurring, review any scheduled batch jobs that might be running during the time you are trying to access the table. Adjust their timing if necessary.
