• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_010061 - Entry changed. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_010061 Entry changed typically occurs in the context of the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) when there is a discrepancy between the data being processed and the existing data in the target system. This error indicates that an entry that was expected to remain unchanged has been modified in the database since it was last read, which can lead to inconsistencies during the data migration process.
  Cause:
  
  Data Changes: The most common cause is that the data in the target system has been changed after it was read for processing. This can happen if multiple users or processes are updating the same data concurrently.
  Locking Issues: If the data is locked by another transaction or user, it may lead to this error when trying to update or insert new data.
  Incorrect Mapping: If the mapping of fields in LSMW is not correctly set up, it may lead to attempts to change existing entries that should not be modified.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Data Changes: Review the data in the target system to see if any changes have been made to the entries you are trying to process. If so, you may need to refresh your data or adjust your migration strategy.
  Re-read Data: If the data has changed, you may need to re-read the data from the source system to ensure you are working with the most current information.
  Lock Management: Ensure that no other processes are locking the data you are trying to update. You may need to coordinate with other users or processes to avoid conflicts.
  Review LSMW Configuration: Check the LSMW project configuration to ensure that the mapping and processing steps are correctly set up. Make sure that you are not unintentionally trying to change entries that should remain unchanged.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your LSMW process to manage such discrepancies more gracefully, allowing for retries or logging of issues for further analysis.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as LSMW (for the Legacy System Migration Workbench) and SE38 (for executing ABAP programs) to troubleshoot and manage your migration tasks.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to LSMW and this specific error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
