How To Fix SCTS_HOT623 - Locking the HOTA transport objects to be deployed took &1 seconds.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCTS_HOT - Messages for HANA Object Transport

• Message number: 623

• Message text: Locking the HOTA transport objects to be deployed took &1 seconds.

System Response

Time that is required to lock all packages/objects to be deployed. If
this value is high (for example, higher than 60 seconds), this indicates
that deployment had to wait until the deployment already running was
finished.

Procedure for System Administrators

If the situation frequently occurs that it takes significantly longer
than 60 seconds to lock HOTA objects, you should first check if import
step <ZK>SAP HANA Repository Deployment</> or the
transport-request-independent step <ZK>Redeployment of SAP HANA
Repository Objects with errors</> was executed at the time of the
deployment. There are several ways to check this, for example
transaction STMS in the import history.
If the parallel deployment was the import step <ZK>SAP HANA Repository
Deployment</>, then check the frequency of the imports and reduce or
import multiple requests if required.
If the parallel deployment was the transport-request-independent step
<ZK>Redeployment of HANA Objects with errors</>, then you might have a
lot of SAP HANA repository objects containing errors in this system,
which need to be corrected. Alternatively you can prevent the execution
of transport-independent step <ZK>Redeployment HANA Objects with errors
</> or reduce the maximum number of activation attempts for object
activation. For more details on this topic, see <DS:NA.SCTS_HOT621>Long
text of message for redeployment of SAP HANA Repository objects with
errors</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HOT623 - Locking the HOTA transport objects to be deployed took &1 seconds. ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HOT623 indicates that there was a delay in locking the HOTA (High-Performance Transport) transport objects that are to be deployed. This message typically appears during the transport process when the system is trying to lock the objects for deployment but encounters a delay.
  Cause:
  
  System Load: High system load or contention for resources can lead to delays in locking objects.
  Long-running Processes: Other processes that are currently accessing the same transport objects may cause a delay in acquiring the lock.
  Database Performance: Slow database performance can also contribute to the time taken to lock the objects.
  Configuration Issues: Misconfigurations in the transport management system or related settings can lead to inefficiencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Monitor System Performance: Check the system performance and resource utilization (CPU, memory, I/O) to identify any bottlenecks.
  Check for Long-running Transactions: Use transaction codes like SM50 or SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be holding locks.
  Database Optimization: Ensure that the database is optimized and running efficiently. Check for any locks or long-running queries that may be affecting performance.
  Transport Management Configuration: Review the transport management configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no issues with the transport routes.
  Retry the Transport: If the issue appears to be transient, retry the transport after a short period to see if the locking issue resolves itself.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on performance tuning.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like ST22 (Dump Analysis), SM21 (System Log), and ST03 (Workload Analysis) to gather more information about system performance and issues.
  SAP Support: If the problem persists, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance, especially if you suspect a bug or a deeper issue with the transport management system.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to transport management and HOTA to understand best practices and configuration settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue related to the SCTS_HOT623 error message.
