  The SAP error message RSO305 indicates that certain objects you are trying to transport are currently locked by other transport requests. This typically occurs when multiple transport requests are trying to access or modify the same objects simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Transport Requests: Multiple transport requests are trying to access the same object (e.g., InfoObjects, DataSources, etc.) at the same time.
