• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB061 - Table & still locked by you ?

  The SAP error message TB061, which states "Table & still locked by you," typically occurs when a user tries to access or modify a database table that is currently locked by their own session. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a transaction is not completed, or when a user has opened a table in a transaction and has not yet released the lock.
  Cause:
  
  Unfinished Transactions: The user may have started a transaction that involves the table and did not complete it, leaving the table locked.
  Session Timeout: If a session is left open for an extended period, it may still hold locks on tables.
  Multiple Sessions: The user may have multiple sessions open, and one of them is holding the lock on the table.
  Long-Running Processes: Background jobs or processes that are taking a long time to complete can also lead to locks on tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Complete the Transaction: If you have an open transaction that is locking the table, complete it by saving or canceling the transaction.
  Log Off and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging off and then logging back into the SAP system can release the lock.
  Check for Open Sessions: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks held by your user ID. You can see which tables are locked and by which user. If you find your own user ID holding a lock, you can delete the lock entry if it is safe to do so.
  Wait for Automatic Release: If the lock is held by a background job or a long-running process, you may need to wait for that process to complete.
  Contact SAP Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can help identify the cause of the lock and take appropriate action.
