  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TSGEN010 - Transaction SGEN locked by user & ?

    The SAP error message TSGEN010 indicates that the transaction SGEN (which is used for generating the SAP system's repository objects) is currently locked by another user. This can happen for various reasons, such as another user running the transaction, a previous session not being closed properly, or a system issue.

    Cause:

    1. Concurrent Access: Another user is currently executing the SGEN transaction.
    2. Session Issues: A previous session may not have been terminated correctly, leaving the transaction in a locked state.
    3. System Lock: The system may have a lock due to a failed or incomplete process.

    Solution:

    1. Wait and Retry: If another user is running the transaction, you may need to wait until they complete their task. You can check with your team to see if someone is using it.

    2. Check Lock Entries:

      • Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can filter by the user who is locking the transaction.
      • If you find a lock that seems to be stale or unnecessary, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
    3. Check Active Sessions:

      • Use transaction code SM04 to see active user sessions. You can identify if the user who is locking the transaction is still active.
      • If the session is no longer needed, you can log off the user (if you have the necessary permissions).
    4. System Restart: In some cases, if the lock persists and cannot be resolved through the above methods, a system restart may be necessary. This should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your Basis team.

    5. Contact Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be best to contact your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can provide deeper insights and take necessary actions to resolve the lock.
