• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA217 - &1 change(s) in mode 'edit' ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA217 typically indicates that there are changes in the transport request that are not allowed in the current mode (edit mode). This error is often related to the transport management system (TMS) and can occur during the transport of changes between different SAP systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow changes, such as "released" or "completed."
  Editing Restrictions: The system may have restrictions on editing certain objects or transport requests while they are in a specific state.
  Concurrent Changes: There may be concurrent changes being made to the same objects or transport requests by different users.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent changes in certain scenarios to maintain integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request. If it is released, you may need to create a new transport request for any additional changes.
  Use Correct Mode: Ensure that you are in the correct mode for making changes. If the request is in a mode that does not allow editing, you may need to switch to a different mode or create a new request.
  Release and Re-import: If the transport request is in a released state, you may need to release it again after making necessary changes or create a new transport request.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the objects you are trying to edit. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Consult Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for any additional information or errors that may provide more context on the issue.
