• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R9505 - &1 &2 (UID = &3) is being used by other objects ?

  The SAP error message R9505 indicates that a particular object (such as a user-defined object, a transport request, or a specific resource) is currently being used by other objects in the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to delete or modify an object that is still referenced or locked by another process.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to modify or delete is locked because it is being used by another transaction or process.
  Dependencies: The object may have dependencies on other objects, meaning that it cannot be changed or deleted until those dependencies are resolved.
  Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request that is still in use or has not been released, you may encounter this error.
  User Sessions: Another user session may be actively using the object, preventing modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Usage: Identify which objects are using the object in question. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module) to check dependencies.
  Release Locks: If the object is locked, you can use transaction SM12 to check for and release any locks that are preventing access.
  Review Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is released and not in use. You can check this in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  Coordinate with Users: If another user is using the object, coordinate with them to ensure that they finish their work or release the object.
  Check for Active Sessions: Use transaction SM04 to see active user sessions and check if someone is using the object.
