• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI2362 - Table &1 is Shared Read only and lock mode is &2: ?

  The SAP error message SOI2362 indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1 in the message) is in a "Shared Read Only" mode, and the lock mode is specified as &2. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to modify or write to a table that is currently locked for reading by other processes or users.
  Cause:
  
  
  Table Locking: The table is locked in a way that prevents write operations. This can happen if:
  
  Another transaction is currently reading from the table.
  The table is being accessed in a way that does not allow modifications (e.g., during a batch job or a long-running report).
  
  
  
  Database Configuration: The database settings or the way the application is configured may enforce read-only access to certain tables under specific conditions.
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users or processes trying to access the same table simultaneously can lead to this error, especially if one of them has locked the table for reading.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for existing locks on the table. If you find locks that are not needed, you can release them (if you have the necessary permissions).
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the table is locked by another process, you may need to wait for that process to complete before trying your operation again.
  
  
  Review Code: If you are developing or maintaining custom code, review it to ensure that it is not inadvertently causing locks on the table. Ensure that transactions are properly managed and that locks are released when no longer needed.
  
  
  Database Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your database administrator to review the configuration settings related to table locking and access modes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific guidance related to the table in question and the lock mode indicated.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view locks), SM21 (to view system logs), and ST22 (to view dumps) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific table or error message.
  Performance Considerations: If this error occurs frequently, it may indicate a need to optimize the processes that access the table to reduce contention.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
