• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_LOG121 - Navigation &1 (&2) is still used by &3 (&4) ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_LOG121 indicates that a navigation object (like a report or a transaction) is still being used by another object, which prevents certain actions from being completed. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Change Request Management (ChaRM) or when dealing with transport requests.
  Cause:
  The error message /STMC/CR_LOG121 Navigation &1 (&2) is still used by &3 (&4) generally means that:
  
  The navigation object (e.g., a transport request, change document, or similar) is currently in use or locked by another process or user.
  There may be dependencies or references that are preventing the navigation object from being modified or deleted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the navigation object. If you find any locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (ensure that you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to analyze the transport requests and check for dependencies. This can help you identify which objects are still referencing the navigation object.
  
  
  
  Release or Complete Processes:
  
  If the navigation object is part of a workflow or process that is still active, you may need to complete or release that process before you can proceed.
  
  
  
  Check User Sessions:
  
  Ensure that no other users are currently using the navigation object. You can check active user sessions using transaction SM04.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Review the logs for any additional information that might indicate why the navigation object is still in use. This can be done through transaction SLG1 (Application Log).
  
  
  
  Contact Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team, as they can provide deeper insights into system locks and dependencies.
