• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REXCPTPT028 - Recalculation of IMI object &1 (&2 - &3) not allowed. Record was locked ?

  The SAP error message REXCPTPT028 indicates that a recalculation of an IMI (Investment Management Interface) 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 IMI 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 or transaction is running that has not yet released the lock.
  The system has not properly released a lock due to an error or timeout.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks on the IMI 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., a user has logged out or a job has completed), you can manually delete the lock 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 that process completes. After waiting, try to perform the recalculation 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 can check the job status using transaction code SM37. If the job is stuck or has failed, you may need to resolve the issue with the job.
  
  
  
  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 system-level issues or perform necessary actions to release locks.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: Display and manage locks.
  SM37: Monitor background jobs.
  SE11: Data dictionary to check the structure of the IMI object.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on IMI objects and handling locks.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage locks in the system.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the REXCPTPT028 error and successfully recalculate the IMI object.
