/SDF/DB6117 - Details

• The SAP error message /SDF/DB6117 indicates that there have been too many lock escalations occurring in the database within a specified time frame (per hour). Lock escalations happen when the database system converts many row-level locks into a table-level lock to reduce the overhead of managing numerous locks. This can lead to performance issues and contention for resources, as table-level locks can block other transactions from accessing the locked table.
  Causes:
  
  High Concurrency: A large number of transactions trying to access the same table simultaneously can lead to lock escalations.
  Long-Running Transactions: Transactions that hold locks for an extended period can increase the likelihood of escalations.
  Inefficient Queries: Poorly optimized queries that require many locks can contribute to the problem.
  Database Configuration: Certain database settings may not be optimized for the workload, leading to excessive lock escalations.
  Application Design: Inefficient application logic that leads to excessive locking can also be a contributing factor.
