• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI1484 - There are still open DML/DDL operations on tables (classified with K/C/L) ?

  The SAP error message SOI1484 indicates that there are still open Data Manipulation Language (DML) or Data Definition Language (DDL) operations on tables that are classified with K (Key), C (Cluster), or L (Table). This error typically arises in the context of database operations, particularly when trying to perform actions that require exclusive access to the database objects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  There are ongoing transactions that have not been committed or rolled back.
  There are locks on the tables due to open DML/DDL operations.
  The system is trying to perform an operation that requires a clean state of the database objects, but there are pending operations that prevent this.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SOI1484 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions:
  
  Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check the system log) to identify any open transactions or locks on the tables in question.
  
  
  
  Commit or Rollback Transactions:
  
  If you find any open transactions, ensure that they are either committed or rolled back. This can be done through the appropriate transaction codes or programmatically if you have access to the code.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If there are locks on the tables, you may need to release them. This can be done by terminating the sessions that hold the locks or by using the SM12 transaction to delete the locks if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Check for Long-Running Queries:
  
  Investigate if there are any long-running queries that might be holding onto locks. You can use transaction codes like ST04 (Performance Analysis) or ST05 (SQL Trace) to analyze the performance and identify problematic queries.
  
  
  
  Database Administration:
  
  If you have access to the database administration tools, you can check for any ongoing DDL operations that might be causing the issue. Ensure that all DDL operations are completed.
  
  
  
  Restart the Application:
  
  In some cases, restarting the application server or the database may help clear any lingering locks or transactions.
