This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when an administrator has locked the InfoProvider to prevent data changes or to perform maintenance tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Locking: An administrator may have manually locked the InfoProvider to perform maintenance, data loading, or other administrative tasks.
