How To Fix S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY080 - Lock and checked activation not possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY - IMG Activity

• Message number: 080

• Message text: Lock and checked activation not possible

What causes this issue?

Objects of type 'T' (individual transaction), 'L' (logical transport
object) or database table (without generated maintenance dialog) are
individual maintenance transactions, not standard customizing
transactions based on SM30/SM34.
As some BC Set attributes only apply to standard customizing
transactions (objects which are maintained in a generated maintenance
dialog), the following restrictions apply to individual transactions:
You cannot lock customizing data in non-standard transactions and simple
database tables, after BC Set activation.
Checked activation is not possible, i.e. you cannot perform additional
checks (in the events in a generated maintenance dialog) when activating
a BC Set, analogously to manual maintenance of customizing data in
dialog, for objects of type 'T', 'L' or database table, because they
have no generated maintenance dialogs.

System Response

The object can be put in BC Sets, but the restrictions described above
apply to activation of the BC Set.

How to fix this error?

You can only avoid these restrictions by having the SAP developer
resposible for the object convert type 'T' or 'L' objects or database
tables into standard customizing transactions. This will usually not be
possible, because there are usually good reasons why solutions did not
use a standard maintenance transaction.

  The SAP error message S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY080 indicates that there is a problem with the activation of a particular customizing activity in the SAP system. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to lock the necessary objects for the activation process, which can prevent changes from being made.
  Causes:
  
  Lock Issues: The most common cause is that another user or process is currently using the same customizing activity, which prevents the system from locking it for your session.
  Transport Issues: If the customizing activity is part of a transport request that is currently being processed, it may be locked.

  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration or inconsistencies in the customizing settings.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any existing locks on the customizing activity. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  Wait and Retry: If another user is working on the same activity, you may need to wait until they finish and then try again.
  Check Transport Requests: Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check if there are any transport requests that are currently being processed. If so, you may need to wait for those to complete.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the activation. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help resolve locking issues, especially if they are caused by a system hang or other technical problems.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
