• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRTCM001 - User &1 is currently locking the Runtime Check Monitor ?

  The SAP error message SRTCM001 indicates that a user is currently locking the Runtime Check Monitor (RCM). This typically occurs when one user is accessing the RCM, preventing other users from accessing it simultaneously. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The Runtime Check Monitor is designed to allow only one user to access it at a time. If a user is currently using it, other users will receive this error message.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, if a user has left the session open for an extended period, it may still be considered "active," causing the lock.
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or bugs in the system that are causing the lock to persist even after the user has exited.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the user currently accessing the RCM to finish their work and release the lock. You can try accessing it again after some time.
  Identify the User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can identify the user who is locking the RCM. This can be done using transaction codes like SM04 (User Overview) or AL08 (Global User Overview).
  Terminate Session: If the user is no longer active or if the session is stuck, an administrator can terminate the session using transaction SM04 or SM12 (to delete locks). However, this should be done with caution and ideally after consulting with the user or team involved.
  Check for Technical Issues: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating if there are any underlying technical issues or bugs in the system. Consulting with your SAP Basis team or checking SAP Notes for any known issues related to the Runtime Check Monitor may be helpful.
  
  Related Information:

  SM12: To manage locks.
  AL08: To view global user sessions.

  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly exit the Runtime Check Monitor to avoid leaving sessions open unnecessarily.
