• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS104 - Aggregation level &1 locked by user &2. Only display mode is possible ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS104 indicates that an aggregation level is currently locked by a user, which prevents any modifications to that aggregation level. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when users are trying to perform operations that require write access to an aggregation level that is locked for editing.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The aggregation level is locked by another user who is currently working on it. This can happen if a user is editing or processing data related to that aggregation level.
  System Lock: Sometimes, the system may lock the aggregation level due to ongoing processes or transactions that require exclusive access.
  Long-running Processes: If a long-running process is being executed (like data loading or reporting), it may lock the aggregation level until the process is completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for user locks. You can filter by the user ID mentioned in the error message to see if they are indeed holding a lock on the aggregation level.
  If the lock is no longer needed, you can delete the lock entry (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Wait for Release: If the lock is held by another user who is actively working on the aggregation level, you may need to wait until they finish their work and release the lock.
  
  
  Contact the User: If you know the user who has locked the aggregation level, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock or if they are done with their tasks.
  
  
  System Administration: If the lock persists and you cannot identify the user or reason, you may need to involve your SAP Basis team or system administrator to investigate further.
  
  
  Display Mode: As the error message states, you can still access the aggregation level in display mode. This allows you to view the data without making any changes.
