  The SAP error message RSANA_UMM_API252 indicates that the system is unable to obtain an edit lock on a predictive scenario. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Analytics or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same predictive scenario simultaneously.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing the predictive scenario, which prevents you from obtaining an edit lock.

  Check for Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently editing the predictive scenario. You can check the active sessions in the system and see if someone else has the lock.
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the scenario, wait for them to finish and then try again.
  Release Locks: If you suspect that a session is holding a lock unnecessarily, you may need to contact your system administrator to release the lock.
