• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BTSPROC_MSG047 - Resumption of universal change for policy &1: Application locked ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BTSPROC_MSG047 indicates that there is an issue with the resumption of a universal change for a policy, specifically that the application is locked. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Transaction Services (BTS) or similar processes where changes to policies or transactions are being managed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Application Lock: The error suggests that the application or the specific policy is currently locked, possibly due to another user or process that is currently editing or processing it. This can happen if:
  
  Another transaction is in progress that has not yet completed.
  A previous session did not release the lock properly.
  There are background jobs or processes that are holding the lock.
  
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same policy simultaneously, it can lead to locking issues.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how locks are managed, which could lead to this error if not set correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) to check if there are any active locks on the policy in question. If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is due to another user or process, you may need to wait for that process to complete before trying again.
  
  
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs that might be holding the lock. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: If this issue is recurring, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration related to locking mechanisms to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
  
  
  Related Information:
