• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL117 - Object has already been locked by & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL117 Object has already been locked by & typically indicates that a particular object (such as a query, report, or other data structure) is currently locked by another user or process. This locking mechanism is a part of SAP's concurrency control to prevent data inconsistencies that could arise from simultaneous modifications.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the object, leading to a lock.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock for an extended period.
  Unfinished Sessions: If a user has an open session that has not been properly closed, it may still hold a lock on the object.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place that are not released properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for the other user or process to complete their work may resolve the issue.
