• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RDM_OPT_COMMON055 - Data locked by user &1 => Only display is possible ?

  The SAP error message RDM_OPT_COMMON055 indicates that a particular data record is locked by a user, and as a result, only display operations are permitted on that record. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The record is currently being edited or processed by another user. SAP locks records to prevent data inconsistencies that can arise from concurrent modifications.
  Transaction in Progress: A transaction that involves the record is still in progress, and the system has locked it for that user.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs or processes may lock records while they are being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: The simplest solution is to wait until the user who has locked the record completes their transaction and releases the lock.
  Identify the Lock: You can use transaction code SM12 to check which user has locked the record. This transaction allows you to view and manage locks in the system.
  
  Enter the relevant table name or object to find the specific lock.
  Identify the user who has the lock and the time the lock was created.
  
  
  Contact the User: If necessary, contact the user who has the lock to see if they can complete their transaction or release the lock.
  Force Unlock (with caution): If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate to do so, you can manually delete the lock using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the user is still working on the record.
  Review Lock Management Settings: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the lock management settings and user access patterns to optimize how records are accessed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Lock Types: Understand the difference between exclusive locks (which prevent any other user from accessing the record) and shared locks (which allow multiple users to read but not modify the record).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  SM21: To check system logs for any related issues.
  ST22: To check for dumps that might indicate underlying issues.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly complete transactions to minimize the duration of locks.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RDM_OPT_COMMON055 error effectively.
