  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SEHS/DG_DGA300 - Data record &1, &2 not saved (locked) ?

    The SAP error message /SEHS/DG_DGA300 Data record &1, &2 not saved (locked) typically indicates that the data record you are trying to save is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.

    Cause:

    1. Record Locking: The record you are trying to modify is locked by another user or transaction. SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies.
    2. Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold locks longer than expected.
    3. Background Jobs: A background job may be processing the same data, causing it to be locked.
    4. User Session: Sometimes, a user may have an open session that is holding a lock on the record.

    Solution:

    1. Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can search for the user or the specific object that is locked. If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
    2. Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by another user, you may need to wait until they finish their transaction and then try again.
    3. Communicate with Users: If you identify the user who is holding the lock, you can communicate with them to see if they can release the lock.
    4. Review Background Jobs: Check if any background jobs are running that might be locking the record. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs.
    5. Transaction Timeout: If the locking issue is due to long-running transactions, consider optimizing the transaction or breaking it into smaller parts to reduce the locking time.

    Related Information:

    • Lock Management: Understanding how SAP handles locks can help in troubleshooting. Locks can be exclusive (preventing all other access) or shared (allowing read access).
    • User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage locks.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to locking in your version of SAP.
    • System Performance: Sometimes, performance issues can lead to longer transaction times, increasing the likelihood of locks. Monitoring system performance can help identify bottlenecks.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
