• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR687 - Release all requests with locked objects ?

  The SAP error message TR687 ("Release all requests with locked objects") typically occurs when you are trying to release a transport request that contains objects that are currently locked. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a developer is still working on the objects or when there are pending changes that have not been released.
  Cause:
  
  Locked Objects: The transport request contains objects that are locked by another user or process. This can happen if someone is editing the objects or if there are pending changes that have not been saved or released.
  Incomplete Changes: The objects in the transport request may not be in a state that allows them to be released, often due to incomplete changes or dependencies on other objects.
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration or the transport directory.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TR687 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Locked Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to check for locked objects. You can navigate to "Object Lock" and see which objects are locked and by whom.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks in the system.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If you find that a user is holding a lock on the objects, you can ask them to release the lock by saving their changes or by logging out of the system.
  If necessary, you can manually delete the locks using transaction SM12 (be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data loss if the user is actively working on the objects).
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request:
  
  Review the transport request in transaction SE09 or SE10 to ensure that all objects are in a consistent state and that there are no pending changes.
  If there are objects that are not needed, consider removing them from the transport request.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Release:
  
  After resolving any locks and ensuring that the transport request is in a good state, try to release the transport request again.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult your SAP Basis team for further assistance. They can help with deeper system checks and configurations.
