• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/CM_CNV_LCK000 - Live Conversion running indicator is locked by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/CM_CNV_LCK000 Live Conversion running indicator is locked by user &1 typically indicates that a live conversion process is currently running or has been initiated by a specific user (denoted by &1). This lock prevents other users from starting a new conversion process until the current one is completed or released.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Conversion Process: The most common cause is that a live conversion process is actively running, and the system has locked the conversion indicator to prevent conflicts.
  User Lock: The user identified in the error message has initiated a conversion process, and the system is designed to prevent multiple concurrent conversions to ensure data integrity.
  Incomplete Previous Process: If a previous conversion process did not complete successfully, it might still hold the lock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: If you are not the user who initiated the conversion, you may need to wait until the user completes their process. You can check with the user to see if they are still working on it.
  Identify the User: Use transaction codes like SM04 or AL08 to identify the user who has the lock and check their session status.
  Terminate the Process: If the user is no longer active or the process is stuck, an administrator may need to terminate the session or process. This can be done using transaction SM50 (Process Overview) or SM66 (Global Process Overview) to find and terminate the relevant process.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks related to the conversion process. If there are locks that should not be there, they can be deleted by an administrator.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any errors or issues that may have caused the conversion to hang or not complete properly.
