• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/BB_INSTALLER123 - User & is currently activating solution & ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/BB_INSTALLER123 User & is currently activating solution & typically indicates that a user is trying to activate a solution in the SAP Business ByDesign (ByD) environment, but the activation process is already in progress by another user.

  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is activating the solution, wait for them to complete the process. You can check with your team to see if someone is currently working on it.
  Check System Status: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the solution. If you find a lock that should not be there, you may need to contact your system administrator to resolve it.
  Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging out and back into the system can clear up session-related issues.
