• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM3805 - Profile &1 locked by user &2; only display possible ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM3805 indicates that a specific profile in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system is currently locked by a user, which prevents any modifications to that profile. This situation typically arises when a user is actively using or editing the profile, and other users are restricted to only viewing it.
  Cause:
  
  Active Session: The profile is being used or edited by another user, which locks it for other users.
  Long-running Processes: A process that uses the profile may be taking longer than expected, causing the lock to persist.
  User Lock: The user who has locked the profile may have left the session open without completing their task.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: If the profile is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user completes their task and releases the lock.
  Contact the User: If you know who the user is, you can contact them to see if they can complete their work or log off to release the lock.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user has locked the profile and potentially delete the lock if necessary (ensure you have the appropriate authorizations and that it is safe to do so).
  System Administration: If the lock persists and is causing issues, a system administrator may need to intervene to release the lock or investigate further.
