• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY358 - Lock owner holds further &1 &2 locks for &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY358 typically indicates that a lock conflict has occurred in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error message suggests that a lock owner is holding additional locks that are preventing the current operation from proceeding. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data consistency during transactions. When a user or process is working on a particular object (like a delivery), it locks that object to prevent other processes from making changes simultaneously.
  Multiple Locks: The error message indicates that the lock owner is holding additional locks (indicated by &1 &2) that are preventing the current transaction from acquiring the necessary lock (indicated by &3 &4).
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it can hold locks longer than expected, leading to conflicts with other transactions trying to access the same data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock Owner: Use transaction code SM12 to view the locks currently held in the system. You can filter by user or object to identify the lock owner.
  Release Locks: If the lock owner is identified and it is safe to do so, you can manually release the locks using transaction SM12. Be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the lock owner is still processing.
  Check for Long-running Processes: Investigate any long-running processes that may be holding locks. You can use transaction SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any that are taking an unusually long time.
  Optimize Processes: If certain processes frequently lead to lock conflicts, consider optimizing them to reduce the time they hold locks. This may involve reviewing the logic of the processes or breaking them into smaller transactions.
  Increase Lock Timeout: In some cases, you may want to consider increasing the lock timeout settings, but this should be done with caution and typically as a last resort.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on lock management in EWM.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on locking mechanisms and best practices for managing locks in EWM.
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and lock situations to proactively address potential issues before they lead to conflicts.
