  The SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS195 indicates that a specific client (denoted by &1) is not locked against logon, and it provides a return code (&2) that can give further insight into the issue. This error typically occurs in the context of background jobs or task scheduling in SAP Solution Manager or other SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Client Not Locked: The client specified in the error message is not locked for logon, which means users can log into that client. This can lead to inconsistencies or issues when executing background jobs or tasks that are expected to run in a locked environment.
  Return Code: The return code (&2) can provide additional context about the specific issue. Common return codes might indicate whether the client is open, closed, or in a specific state that affects job execution.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Lock the Client: If the task or job is intended to run in a locked client, you can lock the client to prevent users from logging in. This can be done using transaction code SCC4:
  
  Go to transaction SCC4.
  Select the client in question.
  Change the logon status to "Not modifiable" or "Not open for logon" as appropriate.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Job Scheduling: If the job does not require the client to be locked, you may need to review the job scheduling settings to ensure they are configured correctly. You can check the job in transaction SM37 to see its status and any related logs.
  
  
  Review Return Code: Analyze the return code provided in the error message. Depending on the return code, you may need to take different actions. For example, if the return code indicates that the client is open, you may need to ensure that the job is scheduled correctly or that the client is in the expected state.
