• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER104 - Objects are locked on transport requests ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER104 indicates that certain objects are locked in transport requests, which prevents the system from performing the requested operation. This typically occurs during the transport of objects between different SAP systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Locked Objects: The objects you are trying to transport are currently locked by another transport request. This can happen if another user or process is working on the same objects.
  Incomplete Transport: If a previous transport request that included these objects was not completed successfully, it may leave the objects in a locked state.
  Transport Request Conflicts: Multiple transport requests may be trying to access the same objects simultaneously, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RS_B4HANA_TRANSFER104 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Lock Entries:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. Look for the objects that are locked and identify the transport requests associated with them.
  If you find locks that are no longer needed (e.g., from a user who has logged off), you can delete those lock entries.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Requests:
  
  If the objects are locked by a transport request that is still in progress, you may need to wait for that transport to complete.
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can also release the transport request that is causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Logs:
  
  Review the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the objects are locked. This can provide insights into whether the transport request needs to be retried or if there are other issues.
  
  
  
  Coordinate with Team Members:
  
  If multiple team members are working on the same objects, coordinate with them to ensure that only one person is making changes at a time to avoid locking issues.
  
  
  
  Use Transport Organizer:
  
  In some cases, you may need to use the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10) to manage transport requests and resolve conflicts.
  
  
  
  System Restart:
  
  As a last resort, if the locks cannot be resolved through the above methods, consider restarting the SAP system. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your Basis team.
