• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TO190 - Object &1 &2 &3 is shared. Change is not permitted. ?

  The SAP error message TO190 indicates that an object (such as a transport request, task, or configuration object) is currently shared or locked by another user or process, and therefore, changes to that object are not permitted. This is a common issue in SAP environments where multiple users or processes may be trying to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to change is locked because another user or process is currently using it.
  Transport Request: If the object is part of a transport request, it may be locked until the transport is released or completed.
  Shared Object: The object may be shared across different clients or systems, preventing changes until the sharing is resolved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries related to the object. You can identify the user or process that is holding the lock and take appropriate action.
  Wait for Release: If another user is working on the object, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate to do so, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt other users.
  Transport Management: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released properly. You can check the status of the transport in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the lock, consult with your colleagues or the SAP Basis team to understand the context and whether it is safe to proceed.
