• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REXCES091 - Recalculation of IBI object &1 (&2 - &3) not allowed; record is locked ?

  The SAP error message REXCES091 indicates that a recalculation of an IBI (Investment and Business Intelligence) object is not allowed because the record is currently locked. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, leading to a lock situation.
  Cause:
  
  
  Record Locking: The primary cause of this error is that the IBI object you are trying to recalculate is locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently editing or processing the same object.
  A background job is running that is using the same data.
  The system has not released the lock due to a previous error or timeout.
  
  
  
  Transaction Management: If the transaction that created the lock did not complete successfully, it may leave the record in a locked state.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks on the IBI object. You can filter by user or object type to find the specific lock.
  If you find a lock that is no longer needed (e.g., from a user who has logged off), you can delete the lock entry if you have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by another user or process that is still active, you may need to wait until they complete their transaction. After waiting, try to recalculate the IBI object again.
  
  
  Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users to determine if someone is actively working on the object. Coordination can help avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Check Background Jobs: If a background job is causing the lock, you may need to wait for it to complete or check if it can be canceled if it is stuck.
  
  
  System Administration: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause of the lock, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team or system administrator to investigate further. They can check for any system issues or inconsistencies that may be causing the lock.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SM12: To view and manage lock entries.
  SM37: To monitor background jobs.
  SE11: To check the data dictionary for the IBI object structure.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the IBI object or the specific error message. You can search for REXCES091 in the SAP Support Portal.
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to IBI objects and recalculation processes to understand the expected behavior and any prerequisites for recalculation.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully recalculate the IBI object.
