SA325 - Details

• The SAP error message SA325 indicates that a data model is currently locked, which prevents any modifications or updates to that model until the lock is released. This situation can arise in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data model simultaneously, or when a previous session did not close properly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or has locked the data model.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may have timed out without releasing the lock.
  System Error: An unexpected error or crash may have left the data model in a locked state.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes too long to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is working on the data model, wait for them to finish and release the lock.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can
