• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PV358 - Business event & is currently locked; no editing possible ?

  The SAP error message PV358 indicates that a business event is currently locked, which prevents any editing or modifications to that event. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same business event simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing the business event, leading to a lock.
  System Lock: The system may have placed a lock on the business event due to a previous transaction that has not been completed or released.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction is taking too long to complete, it may hold a lock on the business event.
  Background Jobs: Background jobs that are processing data related to the business event may also cause it to be locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is due to another user, wait for a few moments and then try to access the business event again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user or process is holding the lock and take appropriate action.
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entries in SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other process is still active.
  Identify Long-running Processes: Use transaction code SM66 to monitor active processes in the system. Identify any long-running transactions that may be causing the lock and address them accordingly.
  Communicate with Users: If multiple users are involved, communicate with them to ensure that they are not trying to access the same business event simultaneously.
