  Wait for Completion: If there are ongoing processes, wait for them to complete before attempting to update the data in the source system.
  Review DTP Settings: Check the settings of the Data Transfer Process to ensure that it is configured correctly and is not causing the lock.
  Error Handling: If a process has failed, resolve the issue causing the failure and restart the process.
  Consult Logs: Review the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on the issue.
