• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP408 - Selected set &2 in plant &3 is currently being processed by &1 ?

  The SAP error message QP408 indicates that a selected set (a group of quality inspection characteristics) is currently being processed by another user or session in the specified plant. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same selected set simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or session is currently processing the selected set, leading to a lock on that resource.
  Long-running Processes: A background job or a long-running transaction is holding the lock on the selected set.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent concurrent access to certain resources for data integrity reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the selected set is being processed by another user, wait for that user to complete their task and then try again.
  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs) to identify if there are any active sessions that are holding locks on the selected set.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user or session that is holding the lock, you may want to contact them to see if they can release the lock.
  Terminate the Session: If necessary and if you have the appropriate permissions, you can terminate the session that is holding the lock using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  Review System Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, consider reviewing the system configuration and user access policies to minimize concurrent access issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks), SM21 (to view system logs), and ST22 (to check for dumps).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly manage selected sets and understand the implications of concurrent access.
