Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_030022 - Object '&', '&', '&' being edited by &. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_030022 indicates that an object (such as a data object or a project) is currently being edited by another user or process. This can occur in the context of using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP, which is a tool used for data migration.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: The object you are trying to edit is already opened by another user or session. This can happen if multiple users are trying to work on the same LSMW project or object simultaneously.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When one user is editing an object, it is locked for others until the first user completes their changes and releases the lock.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, a session may not have been properly closed, leaving the object in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently editing the object. You can do this by checking the user sessions in transaction SM04 or AL08 to see if the object is being used by someone else.
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the object, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock. You can periodically retry accessing the object.
  Release Locks: If you suspect that a session is holding a lock unnecessarily (e.g., due to a crash or improper logout), you can use transaction SM12 to check for and delete any locks associated with your user ID or the specific object.
  Communicate with Team Members: If you are working in a team, communicate with your colleagues to ensure that no one else is editing the same object at the same time.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks on objects. You can check for any running jobs in transaction SM37.
