  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SU2X604 - &1 for &2 ( &3 ) is locked by user &4. ?

    The SAP error message SU2X604 indicates that a specific object (like a user, role, or authorization profile) is locked by a particular user. This typically occurs when a user is trying to modify or access an object that is currently locked by another user, which can happen during administrative tasks or when multiple users are working on the same object.

    Cause:

    1. User Locking: The object (e.g., user, role, or profile) is locked by another user who is currently editing or has opened it in a transaction.
    2. Session Issues: Sometimes, a session may not have been properly closed, leaving the object in a locked state.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to unlock or access the object.

    Solution:

    1. Identify the Locking User: Check who is currently locking the object. You can do this by using transaction code SM12 to view the lock entries. Look for the object name and see which user has it locked.

    2. Unlock the Object: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can unlock the object by:

      • Using transaction code SM12 to delete the lock entry. Be cautious with this step, as it may disrupt the work of the user who has the object locked.
      • Contacting the user who has the object locked and asking them to release it if they are done with their task.
    3. Wait for Release: If the locking user is actively working on the object, it may be best to wait until they finish their task and release the lock.

    4. Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. You can check for any running jobs that might be causing the lock using transaction code SM37.

    5. Review Authorization: Ensure that the user trying to access the locked object has the necessary authorizations to do so.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM12: To view and manage lock entries.
