• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS090 - Data in InfoProvider &1 is locked by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS090 indicates that data in a specific InfoProvider is locked by a user. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user is trying to access or modify data that is currently being processed or is locked by another user.
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or DataStore Object) is currently locked by another user. This can happen during data loading, reporting, or when a user is performing a transaction that requires exclusive access to the data.
  Long-running Processes: If a data load or a query execution is taking a long time, it may hold the lock for an extended period, preventing other users from accessing the data.
  User Sessions: Sometimes, a user may have multiple sessions open, and one of them is locking the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. You can filter by the InfoProvider name and the user ID to see who is holding the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from the SM12 transaction. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the ongoing process for the user holding the lock.
  Wait for Completion: If the lock is due to a legitimate process (like a data load), it may be best to wait until the process completes.
  Communicate with Users: If you identify the user holding the lock, you can communicate with them to understand if they can release the lock or if they are still actively working on the data.
  Check for Long-running Queries: If the lock is due to a long-running query, consider optimizing the query or checking if it can be run during off-peak hours.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:

  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor the performance of data loads and queries to minimize locking issues.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for more details on data locking mechanisms and best practices for managing locks in BW.
