How To Fix SEEF_BASE048 - Enhancement implementation &1 is locked

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SEEF_BASE - Message Class for Package SEEF_BASE

• Message number: 048

• Message text: Enhancement implementation &1 is locked

What causes this issue?

The enhancement implementation &V1& is to be generated. It is therefore
necessary to lock the implementation. The lock was unsuccessful because
the implementation has already been locked by another process.

System Response

The generation is not carried out.

How to fix this error?

Repeat the generation at another time.
If the problem occurs during a transport, it can be ignored if it occurs
during the mass activation of the Enhancement Framework as an additional
generation attempt is automatically made during the after-import
handling. If this also fails, it is possible to generate the
implementation to be generated in transaction SE19 by manual activation
or by repeating the after-import phase.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
