• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TP375 - & is being processed by another process ?

  The SAP error message TP375 indicates that a transport request is currently being processed by another process. This typically occurs when multiple users or processes attempt to access or modify the same transport request simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or background job is currently processing the same transport request.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a transport request is locked by one process, other processes will be unable to access it until the lock is released.
  Long-running Processes: If a transport is taking a long time to process, it may lead to this error if another attempt is made to access it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try to process the transport request again. The lock will be released once the other process completes.
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction code SM66 (Global Work Process Overview) to check if there are any active processes that are currently working on the transport request. You can identify the user or job that is holding the lock.
  Release Locks: If you determine that a process is stuck or has failed, you may need to release the lock manually. This can be done using transaction code SM12 (Display and Delete Locks). However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other process is still valid.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Ensure that the Transport Management System is functioning correctly. You can check the transport logs for any errors or issues.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may be necessary to clear any lingering locks or processes.
