• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPTRX/ASC116 - Business object &1 was rejected by SAP EM due to locked event handler ?

  The SAP error message /SAPTRX/ASC116 Business object &1 was rejected by SAP EM due to locked event handler typically occurs in the context of SAP Event Management (EM) when an event handler associated with a business object is locked. This can happen for various reasons, such as concurrent processing, system errors, or manual locks placed on the event handler.
  Cause:
  
  Locked Event Handler: The event handler for the specified business object is currently locked, preventing any new processing or updates.
  Concurrent Access: Multiple processes or users may be trying to access or modify the same event handler simultaneously.
  System Errors: There may be underlying system issues or inconsistencies that have caused the event handler to be locked.

  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Status: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the event handler. Identify the user or process that has locked it and determine if it can be released.
  Release Locks: If you find that the lock is no longer needed, you can release it from the SM12 transaction. Be cautious when doing this, as it may affect ongoing processes.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the event handler is locked.
  Avoid Concurrent Processing: If the issue is due to concurrent access, consider implementing a locking mechanism or ensuring that processes that access the event handler do not run simultaneously.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
