TO006
- Request &1 contains externally locked objects; release was canceled ?The SAP error message TO006 indicates that a transport request contains objects that are externally locked, which prevents the release of the transport request. This typically occurs when the objects in the transport request are being used or modified in another session or by another user, leading to a conflict.
Cause:
- External Locks: The objects in the transport request are locked by another user or process. This can happen if someone is editing the same objects in the development environment.
- Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration or the transport directory.
- Incomplete Object Release: If an object was previously released but is still locked, it can cause this error.
Solution:
Identify Locked Objects:
- Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the objects in question. You can filter by user or object name to find the specific locks.
- If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
Check for Active Sessions:
- Ensure that no other users are currently editing the objects in the transport request. If they are, coordinate with them to release the locks.
Release the Transport Request:
- Once the locks are cleared, attempt to release the transport request again using transaction code SE09 or SE10.
Transport Directory Check:
- Ensure that the transport directory is correctly configured and that there are no issues with the transport management system.
Consult Basis Team:
- If the issue persists, consult your SAP Basis team for further investigation. They may need to check for system inconsistencies or perform additional troubleshooting.
