• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSZ1026 - The data records are being processed by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message PSZ1026, which states "The data records are being processed by user &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP Project System (PS) when a user attempts to access or modify data that is currently being processed or locked by another user. This is a common concurrency control mechanism in SAP to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The primary cause of this error is that the data records you are trying to access are locked by another user (indicated by &1 in the message). This can happen during various operations, such as creating, changing, or deleting project-related data.
  Long-running Transactions: If a user is performing a long-running transaction, it may hold locks on the data for an extended period, leading to this error for other users.
  Batch Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs or batch processes may also lock records, causing this error for users trying to access the same records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to complete their transaction and then try again. You can check with the user indicated in the error message to see if they are still working on the data.
  Check Lock Entries: You can use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. This will allow you to see which user is holding the lock and on which data records. If necessary, you can ask the user to release the lock or, if appropriate, an administrator can remove the lock.
  Optimize Processes: If this error occurs frequently, consider reviewing the processes to identify long-running transactions and optimize them to reduce the time locks are held.
  User Communication: Establish a communication protocol among users to inform each other when they are working on critical data to avoid conflicts.
