• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_AUT028 - Table &1 locked by user &2 (No transaction references maintainable) ?

  The SAP error message S_AUT028 indicates that a specific table (denoted by &1) is locked by a user (denoted by &2), and as a result, no transaction references can be maintained. This typically occurs when a user is currently accessing or modifying the table, preventing other users from making changes.
